Summer Reading Program volunteers enthusiastically engage with children ages 10 and under, congratulating them for their reading efforts and handing out books.
Volunteers must be ages 14 and up (or ages 12 or 13 with a parent present).
We prefer that volunteers sign up for the same weekly shift during the six weeks of the program, but we will also need substitutes!
