Get Involved

Volunteer

Our volunteers become so much more than just reading partners. By sharing their knowledge and experience, they become mentors, friends, and positive role models to the children they work with. Working one-on-one with a student is a fun, effective way to change a life—maybe even your own.

 

Requirements:

  • Be at least 14 years old
  • Commit a minimum of one hour per week on a recurring schedule
  • Most reading centers are open Monday-Thursday, 9 am – 2:30 pm
  • Pass a background check

Donate books

Reading Partners wants to ensure access to the highest quality books for our students and we want to inspire them to stand up for social justice. If you’re interested in helping us build a read aloud library filled with books that celebrate diversity, kindness, and standing up for what is right, check out our Bookshop. Please make sure to add your name and address to the order so that we can thank you!
