Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,

Volunteer reading to Kindergartners at MacArthur Park Elementary

As we recruit another 40 volunteers for our December 14th reading clubs, we wanted to share with you this message we received from one of our former Site Coordinators and Board Members Ali Husain, who read with us again after a long break:

To all the Reading to Kids volunteers:

I volunteered at the November reading clubs again after 16 years, as I don't live in LA anymore.

I was involved with Reading to Kids since the very early days, and I remember watching my hand go up when they asked for a Site Coordinator to open up a new school. I was hooked immediately and dived in, eventually serving on the Board and as Fundraising Chair.

It was amazing to see the same energy I remember - new volunteers raving about their experience, many experienced volunteers who help the whole operation run every month - and most importantly, kids engaged and getting excited about reading.

And we still get free apps at El Cholo!

It fills me with pride that I helped to establish this great organization, and I am honored that all of you are keeping it going and loving it.

A huge thanks to the staff, volunteers, donors, and everyone who supports Reading to Kids!

Ali Husain
