Dear friends and family,
I’m writing to tell you about my volunteer work with Reading Partners. It’s an incredible organization that connects volunteers with students to help them boost their literacy skills. At a time when only about 1 in 3 of our nation’s fourth graders can read proficiently, the need has never been greater.
I believe in creating a more equitable future for kids in our community, and that’s why I volunteer to tutor a student once a week. Every time I see my student, I notice their progress from the previous week and we have a blast reading together.
If you’re looking for an impactful way to make a difference, I recommend volunteering with Reading Partners. It has become one of the most rewarding hours of my week. Head over to readingpartners.org/volunteer to learn more, or just reply here and I’d be happy to share more about my experience.
With gratitude,

Hi [First Name],
I hope this email finds you well! I wanted to reach out to tell you about an opportunity that just opened up at my organization.
I serve Reading Partners, a literacy nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that all kids have equitable access to reading support and resources. Each year, we recruit hundreds of AmeriCorps members to serve in our partner schools and in their communities to support students on their literacy journeys and recruit new volunteers to the cause.
AmeriCorps members enjoy a ton of benefits, like the living allowance, Segal Education Award, medical coverage, and more.
Our 2024-25 AmeriCorps applications are now open, and I thought you’d be a perfect fit. You can find more details about AmeriCorps service, our open positions, and the application link here.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
