On June 21, 2011, United Way Worldwide launched an initiative to recruit one million volunteers nationally to serve
as readers, tutors and mentors to youth over the next three years. These volunteers will:
- Read to individual students or to groups
- Tutor math, english and science
- Server as mentors
In conjunction with the launch, Capital Area United Way will begin to work with various organizations to determine the
number of volunteers will be needed in the tri-county area. We invite you to be a part of this important initiative.
