Volunteer with us to clean gently used books, so we can give them to children who need them!
Kids need books to learn to read and Reading Seed is working hard to make sure EVERY child in our community has access to free books. We distributed 45000 children’s books to students, teachers, schools, and community organizations during the 2013-2014 school year, which would not have been possible without amazing volunteers like YOU! Each book that we gave away had to be cleaned by a volunteer.
Support children’s literacy in Tucson and Pima County!
- Get volunteer hours with this fun and easy opportunity!
- Make a difference in your community!
- Groups welcome! Bring friends and family!
- Must be 14 years old and up to volunteer without a parent.
Please RSVP to Violet Kennedy at library@literacyconnects.org or call 520-882-8006.

About Literacy Connects
Location:

Mission Statement
Connecting people of all ages to a world of opportunities through literacy and creative expression. From birth throughout adulthood, Literacy Connects’ continuum of programs offers opportunities for learners of all ages to realize their potential -- at school and in the workplace, as parents, as consumers and as participants in the life of our community.
Description
Envision a community where every child graduates from high school, crime and poverty rates are the lowest in the nation, a skilled workforce fosters a thriving economy, and the arts and culture environment is second to none. We do!
Literacy Connects is a Tucson-based nonprofit founded in July 2011 through the merger of five literacy organizations. The merger was based on the belief that by working together we can create the kind of community in which we all want to live.
Last year, our staff and more than 1,500 dedicated volunteers helped more than 50,000 individuals in Southern Arizona.
Our programs coach children in reading so they don’t fall behind and teach parents the importance of reading to children. We help adults with reading, writing, math and/or English and put books in the hands of people who need them. As a powerful voice for literacy, we connect individuals and groups from across the community to work collaboratively toward better literacy outcomes.
Literacy Connects is about how we - as individuals, neighborhoods, organizations and businesses - share a human connection around literacy that helps each of us learn, grow and have a voice. Together, we are developing more resources, serving more people, doing more good, and accomplishing more than ever before.
