Become a Mentor with America Reads, America Counts, or Partners in Print

Did you know that 40% of low-income students in Maryland are behind grade level in reading by the 4th grade? Without individual assistance, they may never catch up to their peers. 

 

America Reads*America Counts*Partners in Print is a mentoring/tutoring program where more than 200 UMD students work weekly to improve the literacy and math skills of Prince George’s County elementary school students. We are currently seeking dedicated and enthusiastic college students who love working with kids and want to give back to their community. America Reads*America Counts*Partners in Print is a great way to meet new friends on campus, develop essential leadership skills, and gain valuable resume-building experience!

We are currently recruiting for each of our programs. Students can volunteer, receive academic or internship credit, or, if eligible for Federal Work Study, can be paid to work with our program! Don’t know if you have Federal Work Study? Check your Financial Aid package at www.testudo.umd.edu.
