There is more than one way to help a child discover the joy and power of reading. Whether you want to help prepare books and learning materials, read with students, review books from home, or bring a group together for a service project, there is a place for you at Words Alive.
Help us prepare books, learning kits, classroom materials, and other resources for young readers at our East Village office. These casual volunteer days are a great fit for individuals, families, book clubs, corporate teams, and community groups. No experience or ongoing commitment required.
