Mass Meeting September 17th, 2010! (Union Room TBA)

In the BEAR program, students from the University of Michigan volunteer each Friday at Westside Multicultural Academy in Detroit. The volunteers bring books and activities based on the book to help the students in fourth and fifth grades with their reading skills and comprehension. The BEAR volunteers do not teach or tutor the children, but rather act as mentors and positive role models to help stimulate interest in reading and school in a fun and educational environment. BEAR receives some funding from the Detroit Rotary Club and from the Ginsberg Center at U of M.
