     Beyond Site Coordinator to provide support for volunteers.  No experience is required.  All volunteers
     attend a one-and-a-half hour training session prior to beginning service.  Topics to be covered include
     reading strategies, volunteer requirements, etc. 

     Ongoing support is provided by Reading And Beyond staff.  All volunteers must be fingerprinted at a cost
     of $20.00, which will be reimbursed with receipt.  Volunteers must be at least 14 years of age, and must
