This volunteer position requires a commitment of 5-12 hours per week and may be shared by two or more volunteers, allowing flexibility to fit your schedule.

2. **Literacy Coordinator:**

Similarly, as a Literacy Coordinator, you would be a key volunteer supporting and overseeing our Literacy Tutoring Program. Collaborating with the Site Coordinator and a team of Literacy Volunteers, you would help provide a high-quality, outcome-driven Literacy Tutoring Program based on the GiGi’s Playhouse, Inc. program model.

Both roles include participation in monthly National Program conference calls with GiGi’s Playhouse, Inc. Here, you would have the opportunity to relay vital information on program development and enhancements to the team of volunteers at our Playhouse.
