Program Information

At Grail Family Services we offer volunteer opportunities for the Yes We Can...Read Plus program. The YWCR+ program is free and available to Dorsa and San Antonio Elementary in East San José. We offer 30-minute mentoring sessions to Kindergarten and first-grade students by trained mentors on literacy and math activities to improve their skills. The sessions are 10 weeks long and volunteers are required to finish all 10 sessions with a maximum of 4 students each semester.
