Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,

We may need a few more volunteers for our August 12th "Arts & Creativity" reading clubs!

At the moment all of our reader spots are full this morning, but please keep checking back over the next week for new spots in case someone had to cancel.

LEAD VOLUNTEERS WANTED!

Or, if you have read with us at least a few times before, please email us at info@readingtokids.org if you can help in any of these roles:

- GLC at Politi (2nd or 5th)
- Check-in Helper at any school
- Site Operations Helper at any school!

These smaller summer reading clubs are the best times to step into any of these important roles - all training pleasantly provided!

(If you have signed up and can't make it after all, please cancel your RSVP online immediately to make room for another volunteer.)

BE A READING TO KIDS AMBASSADOR

Volunteers at Charles White Elementary

With the 2023-24 school year beginning August 14th, we will have many opportunities for you to help us promote Reading to Kids at our partner schools as a Reading to Kids Ambassador.

There are three different ways you can help: Kindergarten Orientations, Teacher Breakfast Deliveries, and Back-to-School-Nights.

We'll supply everything you need, including what to say at the Kindergarten Orientations. Although it's great if you can speak Spanish (even a little), all of our parent materials are bilingual, and there's always someone who can translate for you at the school.

These events set the course for the rest of the year and are a wonderful way to interact with the kids, parents, and teachers.

If you are an experienced volunteer with us and are interested in being an Ambassador, please e-mail us at info@readingtokids.org or call (310) 479-7455.

Thanks, and we hope you can join us for any of the above!
