PANAMA CITY, FL - The United Way of Northwest Florida is excited to announce that we have our first ReadingPals Training for this school year, next week. The training will be on August 21st at 2pm at the United Way office downtown at 602 Harrison Ave. Panama City.. Come and meet the other volunteers and see what we have planned for the year!!

If you know of anyone who may be interested in volunteering, please share this opportunity with them!

Last year was our first year implementing ReadingPals and we anticipate this year to be even better. We have worked hard getting ready to not only get back in the three schools we were in last year but we are adding schools this year! We will continue to focus on helping students to improve their literacy skills along with social and emotional development while mentoring and making meaningful connections. https://www.unitedwaynwfl.org/reading-pals
