Description
At Mary Nicholson School 70 in Indianapolis, volunteers are helping elementary students with reading.
"Can you try this one?" said Cory Victor as he sat beside a student in the cafeteria of the school.
"Most places get snow in the winter," the student said.
"Good job," Victor replied.
It's part of the United Way of Central Indiana's ReadUP program.
The program pairs volunteers with elementary schools to provide a 30-minute reading session with a student each week.
"It's really fun. They build a mentoring relationship — the students and the volunteers — so it's not just them reading together. They're asking about their day. They're helping them through any challenges that they're going through, so that real intergenerational relationship is really important," said Kiera Hall, manager of the ReadUP Program.
