School Year Volunteer Opportunities
After School Reading Buddy Program at Woodhill Apartments
September 28 – November 18, 2026: Mondays and Wednesdays 4:00 PM – 5:20 PM
Through Project Transformation’s collaborative ministry model, we channel the creativity and leadership of college-age young adults to bring enriching after-school experiences to children in underserved neighborhoods. Our program connects these children with caring adult volunteers who serve as Reading Buddies, fostering a love of reading and supporting their academic growth. In addition to reading support, we also provide homework help and healthy snacks.
You can be part of this important work by becoming a Reading Buddy at Woodhill Apartments (near University Methodist Church, on Woodstone Drive).
