ORGANIZATION: Children's Book Project
Now more than ever, we rely on volunteers to organize children's book drives so we can keep giving away new and like-new, culturally relevant, high interest books to children who need them in Northern and Central California -- all year round.
A book drive is easy to organize, helps build children's literacy, keeps books circulating, and generates good vibes!
Visit childrensbookproject.org/give-books/ for our donation guidelines and procedures, and click on Organize a Book Drive at the bottom of the page for more details.
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.

The Children's Book Project gives free books to children who need them for equity in literacy, learning, and life.
We distribute free books to children through Title 1 schools, public health clinics, shelters, community organizations, and others serving low-income families. Since 1992, we have given over 3 million books to facilities serving hundreds of thousands of children throughout Northern California. Literacy attainment is directly tied to academic achievement and lifetime outcomes, yet children in economically disadvantaged communities do not have the same access to books as their more affluent peers. The Children’s Book Project is committed to closing the opportunity gap and lifting up our community by raising readers.
We collect donated books, then count and sort them by subject matter and age level. Teachers, caseworkers, and other community workers come to our book site to select free books they need for the children they serve.
This is a Virtual Opportunity with no fixed address.
