Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,
22 MORE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
FOR THIS SATURDAY'S IN-PERSON CLUBS!
We have until 3pm tomorrow (Friday) to recruit the volunteers we still need for our in-person reading clubs on our partner school campuses this Saturday!
Volunteers for our reading clubs must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and wear a mask while indoors on campus for the reading clubs. The kids will also be required to wear masks while indoors.
Here are 5 easy things you can do right now to help!
- If you haven't already, please visit our
website now and sign up.
-
Publish to your Facebook feed and share with your friends our
October 8th Facebook Event to encourage them to volunteer!
-
Whether or not you can volunteer this Saturday,
Tweet @readingtokids, post, and message your
friends and followers. Here's a sample
post you can use:
"My
favorite volunteer organization, Reading to Kids, needs more volunteers for their
October 8th reading clubs. The theme is "Halloween, Magic, & Monsters", and every participant will wear masks while indoors. Join me at ###
Elementary School for a fantastic morning of reading to
elementary school kids near downtown LA. To join me, sign up online
today at www.readingtokids.org."
If you write your own
post, please be sure to include the following two
things:
- The reading clubs are this Saturday morning, October 8th, near downtown LA
- Volunteers must sign up online by 3pm tomorrow, Oct. 7th, at
www.readingtokids.org
If you have people in mind who you think would really
like to read with us, tag them in your post. It will
alert them to the reading clubs and show up in their
friends' news feeds.

to encourage people you know to sign up to read with us!
-
Print out this flyer at
