Opportunity Details
Real Men Read 2024
Real Men Read will take place on Friday, April 28th at seven Broward County Schools. Male volunteers are needed to read to a classroom of students, pre-kindergarten through 5th grade.
In Broward County, Real Men Read serves as Real Life Positive Literacy Role Models to motivate students to "be the best they can be" give books to all students to take home and add to their home library collection, and spend a fun morning with the joy of reading
Real Men Read mentors are invited to visit targeted schools to share their own love of reading, to read books aloud to students in grades PK-5, and help us distribute books. As mentors read to children, students excitedly interact with the reader by sharing questions, making predictions for what will happen next in the story, and making connections to help bring the book to life. At the end of the story, before goodbyes, mentors pass out books to the children so they can take their new book home to read over and over again with their families and friends.

- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Academy
