2024-25 VOLUNTEERS

SitStayRead could not deliver its programs without its dedicated volunteer Interns, Book Buddies, and Certified Reading Assistance Dog Teams. Each one of our volunteers is integral to our operation and success, and many fill more than one role. We give our deepest and most sincere thanks to this amazing group!
