Students Expanding Austin Literacy (SEAL) is a University of Texas student service organization that helps kids dive into reading. SEAL Reading Buddies are matched with their own 1st - 5th grade student, and SEAL Smart Kids work with a small group of elementary school students. Both will serve as semester-long mentors, tutors, and play pals. Our goal is simple: to make our kiddos fall in love with us, and in turn, fall in love with reading. If you are a UT student, love kids, enjoy children's books, and miss coloring pages and LEGO's, then SEAL is just right for you!
Since consistency is crucial to developing a strong relationship, all SEAL members commit to volunteering one hour each week with their carpool group. Members are assigned a day (Monday - Thursday) that they are consistently available from 2:45 - 4:45 (one hour of volunteering, one hour reserved for setup and round-trip transportation to the elementary schools). We also have a volunteering time from 11:45 -1:45 on Thursdays.
