Build a love of reading
In all of our children’s and teen programs, Halifax Public Libraries provides a safe, supportive, and fun environment for youth to strengthen academic skills. We use a mix of formal and informal approaches to help youth explore creativity, play, connect with others, and develop life skills. We aim to have a positive and lifelong impact.
Children’s Reading Support is a key part of this youth-literacy plan. The program is a one-on-one weekly tutoring for youth in Ages 8-12. You can explore the full volunteer description.
Please note: You must be 19 years of age or older to volunteer in this program, and all volunteers will require a Criminal Record Check.
