Queen's Running & Reading Program

Queen's Running & Reading Program Queen's Running & Reading is an elementary after-school program aimed at empowering at-risk children through running activities and literacy building.

Queen's Running and Reading is part of Canada's Start2Finish program, aimed at empowering impoverished youth across the country. Meeting once a week at Frontenac Public School, our volunteer coaches organize and participate in games aimed at improving both the physical and mental health of participating kids. The last 30 minutes of each session is dedicated to reading, where coaches and kids pair up and read books over a healthy snack. Queen's Running & Reading is a great way to give back to the Kingston community, working with it's underprivileged youth to promote fitness and literacy. Not only does Running & Reading present kids with the opportunity to play and read, but it also allows them to develop meaningful connections with the coaches they come to look up to. Whether you're simply looking to get involved at Queen's, or want to work with children in need, Running & Reading is just the thing for you!
