YACS had a blast volunteering with Reading to Kids this weekend!

Reading to Kids needs 135 more volunteers for their "Music & Celebrations" reading club on March 12th. Reading to Kids is dedicated to inspiring underserved children with a love of reading. They coordinate reading clubs at elementary schools in downtown Los Angeles where volunteers read aloud to children and create arts and crafts projects about the stories. Each child receives a book to take home and the books read aloud are donated to the school's library. Reading aloud to ...children imparts a love of books that leads to improved literacy, to a more successful education, and to a brighter future. The reading clubs are always held on the second Saturday of every month from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon. The next reading clubs are on Saturday, March 12th. To sign up to volunteer, please visit www.readingtokids.org where you'll need to register and RSVP. Please sign up for Esperanza Elementary School and select YACS at UCLA as your group. Please be sure to sign up soon, before Esperanza Elementary School fills up with other volunteers. If you have read with Reading to Kids before, you can even request another YACS at UCLA member as your reading partner as long you BOTH request each other when you sign up. For more information, please feel free to e-mail [email protected] or call (310) 479-7455.
