Brilliant Detroit

Brilliant Detroit will offer multiple literacy programs in-person throughout the year. We are seeking volunteers to fill our growing student demand. In-person Literacy Volunteers will be asked to read to small groups of 3-5 children, ages 5-8, according to their chosen program’s literacy curriculum.  Reading sessions will occur Monday - Thursdays between the hours of 4p.m. to 7p.m. 

We will schedule your sessions based on your availability.

All volunteers interacting with Brilliant families and staff will be asked to a background check and volunteer handbook.

Some of the tasks that volunteers may perform include the following: 

• Prepare books and materials for each session (materials will be provided)
• Facilitate group reading games
• Read aloud to students demonstrating reading fluency
• Ask students questions about the reading content to assess their understanding
• Complete a session log summarizing the session after each session
