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!

Whether you meet these requirements or not, we encourage you to share your interest in us. You may still be a fit for a different opportunity with our organization.
