Elementary Literacy Friends (ELF) is a volunteer-based literacy program that helps Grade 2 students who would benefit from additional one-on-one literacy activities. ELF provides training, materials, feedback and all of the support necessary for each volunteer to make a positive, lifelong impact not just on a student, but on how that student will contribute to society throughout his or her life. Volunteers do not need previous teaching experience; only a willingness to help and commit to the ELF requirements. Following an initial 3-hour training session, the volunteer is matched with a student. The volunteer works with the student for 1 hour at the end of the school day, 2 twice a week for 10 weeks. ELF is holding a training session Thursday, February 6th from 12:30-3:30 pm at the Anglophone North School District Office, 78 Henderson Street.
