Become a reading mentor for children and young people

For our project, 1:1 reading community, we are looking for long-term reading mentors. Ideally you speak several languages :-)

Your Tasks

You support and accompany children and young people in reading independently, without pressure from school, playfully and imaginatively.

The weekly reading lesson takes place at the student's school.

What's needed

You should be willing to take on a reading mentorship for a year and enjoy practicing with a student once a week. You should also participate in an introductory seminar.

Time required

Important notice

If you are interested, there is always the possibility to participate in further training. For this project you must be at least 18 years old. Furthermore a certificate of good conduct is required!

The Office for Civic Commitment of the AWO Cologne is a consulting service. People who are willing to volunteer will receive advice and will be placed in organisations that work with volunteers. Further priority will be given to LESEMENTOR Cologne, young volunteers, further education and voluntary refugee work.
