Our July 13th "Amazing Animals" reading clubs are this Saturday, and we might need a few more volunteer readers.
Please
click here to see if we have openings today or tomorrow until 3pm, since we always have a few cancelations the days before each reading club.
These July reading clubs are a little smaller because the schools are in the middle of their summer break.
(If you
have signed up and can't make it after all,
please cancel your RSVP online immediately to make room for another volunteer.)
OPERATIONS VOLUNTEERS
NEEDED THIS SATURDAY
Have you volunteered with us a few times recently? Then Then this Saturday would be a great time to step into any of our vital Operations roles - all training very pleasantly provided!
Please e-mail us at
info@readingtokids.org if you can volunteer for any of the following roles this Saturday:
- GLC at Alta Loma (2nd), Gratts (K or 4th), or Magnolia (2nd or 5th)
- Check-in Helper at Esperanza, Gratts, or White
- Site Operations Helper at 8am at Gratts or Magnolia
Or, if you want to help in other ways (Curriculum, Marketing, etc.), and have volunteered with us three or more times,
consider
joining our
Taskforce.
Tomorrow for an hour or two between 7:30am and 2:30pm, we need your
help conducting quick classroom walk-throughs to encourage Summer School kids to come to
our July 13th reading clubs.
We are especially looking for volunteers who can pass out flyers to parents when school lets out at around 2:15pm tomorrow.
This can be a lot of fun and we'll provide everything you need. Please reply to
info@readingtokids.org or call the office at
(310) 479-7455 if you can be an Ambassador for an hour or two!
