Seeking Volunteers: Philly Reading Coaches (PRC)
Posted by City of Philadelphia Office of Children and Families on December 2, 2025
PHILLY READING COACHES (PRC) is a program that combines early reading support, access to books, and community volunteers to boost reading skills for our city’s children. PRC is funded by the Office of Children and Families and implemented by Out-of-School Time Providers.
Philly Reading Coaches pairs volunteers to read one-on-one with K-3 students for at least one hour per week after school from October to May. Our aim is to boost reading motivation and confidence for our city’s young readers. Each child in the program also receives 25 free books to take home.
