The Application Process
1. Fill Out Application
Fill out a GENERAL waitlist application for your child. When filling out this general form, you can select “yes” for Leaps in Literacy. This automatically sends you a follow-up email with the PROGRAM-specific form!
*Please Note: Filling out the application form does not guarantee your child a spot in the Reading Rocks program. The number of spots available depends on the number of volunteer tutors that we have. By filling out the application you are on the waitlist.
2. A Program Coordinator Will Reach Out To You
If there is a spot available, our Program Coordinator will reach out to you via email to offer you a spot in the program. You will have one week to respond and confirm your spot. After this time, the Program Coordinator will move on to the next name on the waitlist. Spots will be given out on a first come first serve basis based on the date and time on completed application forms.
3. Submit Your Payment
Once you have confirmed your spot, details on how to make a payment will be sent to you via email. To keep your child’s spot in the Reading Rocks program you must make a payment before the start of the session.
Please Note: The number of children we accept in each session is dependent on volunteer availability and commitment.
Rarely, it may be possible that a volunteer is unable to complete the program, thus affecting your child’s spot in the program. We affirm that we are very clear to volunteers about the importance of their commitment to our students and the program overall!

Program Cancellation Policy
50% of the registration fee will be refunded for any program cancellation received 2 weeks prior to the first class.
Please contact us for any cancellation questions at [email protected]
Many of our programs have limited space available as we aim to provide a low student to teacher ratio; unfortunately space cannot be held for any student until payment is received.
We reserve the right to cancel program sessions if minimum numbers are not reached.
