Are you looking to share your love of reading and get involved in your community? Elementary Literacy Inc. is a not-for-profit charitable organization with the mission to work closely with educators, parents and communities for increasing literacy rates across New Brunswick. To support this effort, Elementary Literacy Inc. offers the Elementary Literacy Friends Program (Elf) in Anglophone schools across NB. The Elf Program is a one-on-one reading achievement program matching trained community volunteers with grade 2 children who require additional reading practice. The volunteer commitment is one hour, twice a week for ten weeks. Volunteer sessions take place in the school at the end of the day. Over 15 schools in Anglophone North School District are looking for volunteers! Our training date for the Miramichi area is Tuesday September 23 from 1-4 pm at Anglophone North School District. If you are interested in becoming an Elf volunteer, you can register for training at elfnb.com or call 1-855-898-2533. Visit us online for more information about the program and other ways to help!
