​Elementary Literacy Friends (ELF) is a supplementary volunteer-based reading

achievement program that helps Grade 2 students who would benefit from one-on-one reading activities. Elf provides volunteers with training, materials and all of the support necessary for each volunteer to make a positive, lifelong impact on a student. Volunteers do not need previous teaching experience, only a willingness to help and commit to the Elf requirements. Following an initial three hour training session, the volunteer is matched with a student. The volunteer works with the student for one hour at the end of the school day, twice a week for 10 weeks.
