Our chapter is looking for volunteers to help us spread awareness of Room to Read throughout the Austin community!
Room to Read is a global organization seeking to transform the lives of millions of children in the developing world by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education. Founded on the belief that World Change Starts with Educated Children, Room to Read works in collaboration with local communities, partner organizations, and governments to develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children and to ensure girls have the skills and support needed to complete their secondary education.
Since 2000, Room to Read has impacted the lives of more than 10 million children in Asia and Africa and aims to reach 15 million children by 2020. Room to Read has 40+ chapters in cities across the world and depends on its chapter leaders and chapter members to help achieve its' annual fundraising goal and to represent Room to Read.
There are many different ways to get involved, from designing flyers, to taking photos at events, to spreading the word. Reach out to us so we can talk about how you can be a part of Room to Read!
