Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,
Our July 12th "Amazing Animals" reading clubs are this Saturday, and we might need a few more volunteer readers.
Please
click here to see if we have openings today or tomorrow until 3pm, since we always have a few cancelations the days before each reading club.
(If you signed up for the reading clubs but can't join us,
please
cancel your RSVP now so that another volunteer can read with us.)
We especially need more of our experienced volunteers to help as Check-In Helpers & Site Operations Helpers.
These July reading clubs are much smaller because the schools are in the middle of their summer break and Alta Loma and Tenth St. Elementary are closed for July.
Mark your calendars for August 9th as we keep students enjoying books throughout the summer!
OPERATIONS VOLUNTEERS
NEEDED THIS SATURDAY
Have you volunteered with us a few times recently? Then this Saturday would be a great time to step into any of our vital 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 this Saturday:
- GLC at MacArthur Park (2nd)
- Check-in Helper at Gratts
- Site Operations Helper at 8am at any school - discover the joy of being a Site Coordinator!
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 respond about adding in your RSVP.
SCHOOL AMBASSADORS WANTED
TODAY & TOMORROW AROUND NOON!
Today and tomorrow for an hour we need your

HELP US FIND GRANTS!
Did you know Reading to Kids receives about
half of our funding from corporate and foundation
grants? For example, over the last five years alone
seven of our volunteers helped us receive $145,000 in

Please check to see if your employer offers grants
that Reading to Kids can apply to and let us know at
