Spread the Word Nevada is a nonprofit organization that focuses on literacy programs for students in elementary schools.
Spread the Word has several programs, but we are currently focused on bringing mentors into the Books & Buddies program, and are looking for community members to volunteer one hour a week to provide much needed individual attention to students.
Books & Buddies is a reading program developed to improve literacy skills by partnering students with volunteer mentors acting as reading companions. Working together, the mentor and student focus on improving the child’s reading proficiency, comprehension, and fluency skills.
We are currently looking for mentors to volunteer at the following Las Vegas elementary schools: Ronzone, Detwiler, Martinez, Myrtle Tate, CC Ronnow, and Red Rock.
Please note, mentors must attend a mandatory Orientation session and undergo a background check before they can begin working with children.
For your convenience we now offer orientations at 2 locations: In Henderson at Spread the Word’s main office, and in Las Vegas at Findlay Honda Centennial. However, if you have a group larger than 10 members, we can set up a training orientation at your location.
