Are you or someone you know ready to work full-time at a nonprofit where you can make a big difference? Reading to Kids is hiring a second Program Coordinator for a permanent position starting this summer!

The position is posted on our website at readingtokids.org/News/ProgramCoordinator2024.html, where you can also read it by clicking on the Program Coordinator button below Latest News. Be sure to apply as soon as possible.

Please share the above position with anyone you think would be a good fit, especially if they have volunteered with us before!

Summer is just around the corner and our June 8th "Friendship & Fun" reading clubs are filling up nicely!

Please click here to submit your RSVP today, then "join" the June 8th reading club event on Facebook and invite your friends!

These June reading clubs take place while our partner schools are still in session, so we'll need hundreds of volunteers that morning. Please sign up early and recruit your friends, co-workers, and family members as volunteers!

STEP INTO A BIGGER VOLUNTEER ROLE NEXT MONTH

We urgently need experienced volunteers to take on more leadership with us by helping train new and returning volunteers, being a GLC, or especially being a second or third Site Coordinator at any of our schools.

If you can help in any of those roles, please e-mail us at info@readingtokids.org to help create wonderful reading clubs!

If you joined us at our 25th Anniversary Celebration the evening of May 11th, you may have enjoyed beer donated by the Creature Comforts Taproom and Brewery.

They support our mission so much that they have created a 90's-themed adult spelling bee as a fundraiser for Reading to Kids!

Click here for the Eventbrite description. They are located at 1124 San Julian Street Los Angeles, CA 90015, and the spelling bee will go from 4pm - 6pm this Sunday, May 26th. Enter as a contestant at the above Eventbrite link, with an early bird discount of just $8 each for the first 10 to sign up, so grab your spot expeditiously!

$14 entry fee after those early bird spots are filled, with only 20 spots available in total. The event is free to attend if you're only spectating, and they're kid and dog friendly.

All proceeds from entry fees and $1 of every beer sold during the event go towards Reading to Kids. Show up to show off your spelling skills or root for your favorite spellers!

Entrants must be 21+ to participate. One free 10oz beer with entry. No cover and open to all ages to be an audience member and cheer on your favorite contestant!

The Rose Hills Foundation has once again chosen to support our program with a $10,000 grant!

This is the 10th grant they have awarded us since 2008, and we deeply appreciate their partnership as we increase the love of books amongst the families we serve.

Thanks, and we hope to see you this Sunday afternoon and/or on June 8th!
