Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,

Last Saturday we had 280 kids, 179 volunteers, 49 parents, and 25 teachers & staff join together for our May 13th reading clubs!

Reading to Kids also turned 24 years old this past Saturday! Our first reading clubs were held at Gratts Elementary in May 1999, and thanks to 23,693 unique volunteers we have since given away more than 277,000 books!

STEP UP TO A BIGGER VOLUNTEER ROLE

Site Coordinators at Charles White Elementary     Operations at Politi Elementary

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 Site Operations Helper 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!

Or, if you want to help in other ways (Curriculum, Marketing, etc.) and have volunteered at least three times, consider joining our Taskforce.
