Tutors needed to help children with reading

READ Jackson County is seeking volunteers to help tutor children in reading.

Leader Readers is a program in which a group of volunteers within the community will be helping tutor children who are in need of a little extra help reading. Volunteers will offer either a one-time-on-one or group tutoring session.

The program will restart at Girls Inc. of Jackson County in Seymour when school starts back up in the fall.

Anyone interested in volunteering should email [email protected].
