Thinking of volunteering? Here’s some of the reasons your time would be well spent!

“The best thing about being a Coach is watching my Reader develop and seeing his confidence grow. I still can’t imagine what it’s like not being able to read because I take it so much for granted.

So, seeing someone improve their life in whatever form that takes for them is a big part of why I volunteer as a Coach.”
