About This Opportunity

Make a Difference After School – Become a Running & Reading Club Mentor!


Join the fun and impact lives with the Start2Finish Running & Reading Club—a unique after-school program that promotes literacy, healthy active living, and play for children aged 6–13 (Grades 1–6).


Running from October to May, just one afternoon a week for two hours, you’ll support students through meaningful activities that help them stay in school, build self-confidence, and form positive relationships with peers and mentors.


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


With your support, students will feel seen, supported, and empowered to dream big. Be the reason a child discovers their confidence and a brighter future!
