After successfully completing our application and checking process and training course, each volunteer is assigned to a primary school near their home or place of work. They visit the school twice a week for an hour and a half at a time during the school day and the school selects 3 children for each volunteer to work with. Each child benefits from 2 half hour sessions 1:1 with their helper each week. The charity provides books and games to use in the sessions and these are personalised to the individual children to encourage them to enjoy reading.
The commitment is a long term one as volunteers continue to work with the same 3 children for the entire year so as to build a supportive mentoring relationship and boost confidence. We do therefore ask volunteers to commit to work with ARCh for at least a year.
