The United Way of Cayuga County is in need of books for our growing Book Buddies Program.
With our Book Buddies program, 2nd grade students are partnered with vetted community members for the academic school year. During this time our volunteers read with students during their lunch period, utilizing books from the school library, while engaging in meaningful conversations. The mission of our program is to promote a life-long love of reading, exploration and learning through books, and an opportunity for youth mentorship.
Our program is currently in two elementary schools at Auburn Enlarged City School District, and our goal is to expand to every elementary school in Cayuga County. We currently do not have any funding for our program, so we appreciate any books you may be willing to donate to our program that are appropriate for 2nd grade students.
We appreciate your kindness and generosity.
Please reach out to our Office & Programs Assistant Administrator, Sarah Sayles, to schedule a drop-off time.
