Ongoing
Join the fun and make a lasting difference with the Start2Finish Running & Reading Club—an engaging after-school program that supports literacy, healthy active living, and play for children ages 6–13 (Grades 1–6).

With just two hours one afternoon a week, you’ll build meaningful connections while helping students develop confidence, stay engaged in school, and experience the power of encouragement from caring adults and mentors. Whether you’re a university or college student looking to gain experience and give back, or an older adult seeking purpose, connection, and community, your volunteer engagement will make a lasting impact in the lives of the children and your local community far beyond the program day.
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
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?

- Meet new people and develop friendships and professional contacts
- Skill and personal development
- Develop a sense of accomplishment
- Reference letter upon request (minimum 1 term volunteering required)
