There are several opportunities to volunteer in our Communities this summer.
Rotary Reading Friends - Gorham Great Falls Elementary School is requesting our club’s support during its 5-week summer academic program. Reading buddies are requested to help strengthen students' reading experience in Kindergarten through 5th grade. You can sign up for whenever works for you and plan for about an hour.
To be a volunteer, a simple online application is required, and a background check will also be performed at no cost to the volunteer. Start the process here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScMdwsvLALf-WHJfLM4vGZzrbYaWGg3SWY3irWtA_6JWm9lRg/viewform

Days: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays
