Overview
Orlando Cares is the City of Orlando's Cities of Service Initiative. The initiative aims to connect citizen volunteers to impactful opportunities to make a difference in Orlando. Mayor Buddy's Book Club promotes youth literacy and reduces youth crime by providing students in grades 2-6 with a structured, after-school reading program with a Book Buddy mentor. The book club operates at 15 City of Orlando neighborhood centers and the Orlando Public Library.
The goal is to expand participation to additional library branches and public schools.
The Ameri Corps VISTA - Mayor Buddy's Book Club will coordinate the Mayor's Book Club by planning monthly events for youth, recruiting and managing Book Buddy volunteers, writing and administering grants, and strengthening partnerships with the Orange County Library System and Orange County Public Schools.
