Consider becoming a BERGEN READS Literacy Volunteer.
All you need is one hour per week and
the desire to help a child learn to read.
Fall 2010 recruitment is underway for Bergen Reads volunteers. Bergen Reads combats illiteracy by matching volunteers who serve one hour per week during the school year as reading buddies to public school children in grades K-3 who need extra help with their reading skills. This year 120 volunteers volunteered their time as Reading Buddies. Our volunteers represent the full spectrum of Jewish affiliation and share the common values of chesed and tikkun olam. Each volunteer commits to one hour per week; no prior experience is necessary and training is provided.
To receive a Bergen Reads application, visit our website at: www.ujannj.org/bergenreads. Questions? Contact Sharon Rifkind, JCRC Associate Director at 201-820-3947 or sharonr@ujannj.org.
A UJA NNJ Agency
|
The Jewish Community Relations Council of the UJA Federation of Northern New Jersey has recently launched a Book Centerpieces for Tzedaka program.
The proceeds from this program go to support the important work of Bergen Reads, a volunteer Reading Buddy program which is helping low-level readers in local public elementary schools.
Book Centerpieces for Tzedaka are a beautiful and meaningful way to decorate tables at a Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebration, bris, baby naming, Kiddush, or any other special occasion.
Proceeds will benefit children in the JCRC’s Bergen Reads literacy program. For more information, please contact Sharon Rifkind at 201-820-3947 or sharonr@ujannj.org
