12 volunteers needed to support PreK students and their families with creating personalized books.
These annual morning workshops are designed to support our Pre-K students and their families. Build-a- Book Day invites families to share in the joy of reading and learn first-hand about the long-term importance that active family reading can have in a child’s cognitive development and personal growth. During the event, each family is invited to create their very own personalized book they may take home to share after the event. In the process, parents learn simple reading techniques they can employ to help their children. Volunteers help students and their families assemble their books, while offering extra support to those students whose parents may not have been able to attend.

Mission Statement
Change for Kids (CFK) provides critical supports, experiences, and access so kids in New York City public schools can reimagine their possibilities and overcome inequity. We believe opportunities create options. We believe that one can’t dream what one has not seen. We believe creating opportunities for young people allows them to see themselves with different options, through different lenses. And this affords them the tools to reimagine their own possibilities and the tools with which to overcome inequity.
Description
The Change for Kids community works together to allow young people to see themselves in the future with unlimited options. CFK School Managers, in partnership with principals, teachers, and CFK leadership, identify the needs of each CFK partner school.
Change for Kids partners with 13 schools across the five boroughs reaching almost 5,000 students. We provide and manage a mix of resources, including leadership support for principals, teachers, parents, and other school leaders; academic enrichment and engagement programs; volunteers; corporate sponsors; school community support; custom CFK programming designed to fill the gaps identified by our partner schools; and meaningful volunteer opportunities for individuals, public and private organizations, and college/university students.
