“I loved the stories that were shared of how volunteers enhanced the lives of adults and children through tutoring. I am genuinely excited to contribute to developing children’s literary skills, as I am quite passionate about literature. I hope to instill an excitement for learning as I once had at a young age.” ~ Lauren
“I was surprised to learn about the number of people in Buncombe County who cannot read.” ~ Carol
