About

PTNT is committed to supporting children in their love of reading and academic growth. This Afterschool term we will have volunteers read with children, working to help maintain or improve their reading level and love of literacy throughout the year. Reading Bookworm Buddies offer genuine relationships, encouragement, and reading help for children during the year. In order to volunteer with Project Transformation North Texas, you must go through Ministry Safe Training and undergo a background check. If you are a member of a United Methodist Church, please work with your church to complete your Ministry Safe training and background check. In-person Reading Bookworm Buddies will take place at 3 different locations throughout the year. Please see addresses to volunteer sites below:
