Volunteer Opportunity

The Monroe Township Library is looking for volunteers for its Math and Reading Partners program. The program pairs members of the community with elementary age students to help the young people maintain their math or reading skills during the summer months when they are away from school. Volunteers usually meet once a week for approximately one hour. Applications may be picked up at the Library or downloaded here.


For information please call the Youth Services Department at 732-521-5000 extension 116.
