Make a Difference After School – Become a Running & Reading Club Mentor!

Join the fun and impact lives with the Start2

Finish Running & Reading Club—a unique after-school program that promotes literacy, healthy active living, and play for children aged 6–13 (Grades 1–6).

Just one afternoon a week for two hours, you’ll support students through meaningful activities that help them stay in school, build self-confidence, and form positive relationships with peers and mentors.

You don’t need to be a runner—there’s a role for everyone!

As a Volunteer Mentor, you’ll:

• Participate in fun fitness activities
• Read one-on-one with children
• Help serve healthy snacks
• Lead or support engaging literacy games and activities

With your support, students will feel seen, supported, and empowered to dream big. Be the reason a child discovers their confidence and a brighter future!

Program Date and Time: Tuesdays from 3:35 to 5:35 pm
