We're just two days away from our August 12th "Arts & Creativity" reading clubs, and we may need a few more volunteer readers this Saturday!
If we are full when you check our website, please
keep checking back today and tomorrow for new spots in case someone cancels.
If you are signed up but know you can't join us,
cancel your RSVP here immediately so someone else can read in your place!
These smaller summer reading clubs are the perfect time for those who have volunteered with us a few times recently to step into and learn any of our important 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:
GLC at MacArthur Park (2nd) or Politi (2nd)
Check-in Helper at Alta Loma
Site Operations Helper at any school!
(August is a great month to learn this role!)
If your school is full and you are an experienced volunteer with us, let us know if you can fill any of the above roles and we'll happily add in your RSVP.

BE A READING TO KIDS AMBASSADOR
With the 2023-24 school year beginning next week, we 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.
