Our goal with the Reading Buddies program is to support young students to improve their literacy skills and to enjoy reading. The program is structured with one volunteer working with one student. The one-on-one structure of the program fosters a positive relationship between volunteers and students and is rewarding for both the students and volunteers. The program meets during the Extended Day Program at Dr. MLK Academy, Sausalito Marin City School District’s TK-8 school.
