I feel very proud of our work in the schools, especially when I watch our Classroom Coaches enter a classroom for their weekly visit with their students.  These very giving volunteers often serve in a school with which they have no direct connection to make sure all students have an opportunity to succeed.  Our volunteers are the heart of APIE!  Our students thrive on this important gift.

I love Compañeros en Lectura because it enriches the lives of everyone involved! Children get the individualized attention they deserve, teachers get much needed support, and volunteers are able to make a positive impact in their community. It is very rewarding to witness all the positive life changes.  
-- Miriam Mendoza, Compañeros en Lectura Program Coordinator

I'm continually impressed by the number of volunteers who care so much about helping our public school students.   Our volunteers are some of the greatest people in Austin!
