About

At Reading Pals Chico we understand that volunteer opportunities often require a lot of valuable time and you don’t see tangible results from your efforts. We’ve developed a simple system anyone can use to make a tremendous difference in the life of a child. Our volunteers follow a simple curriculum and invest just 1 hour a week with 1 student. No special skills are needed! From their investment we see 90% of Reading Pals quadruple their reading levels! More than that, we see them gain confidence in themselves and their abilities and maintain their gains through middle school and beyond. Reading with a child doesn’t just teach them to read, it changes the trajectory of their life.
