Volunteer with Book'em
Volunteers are our most valuable resource. Book’em has a volunteer base of 300+ community members who serve as reading role models in local elementary schools and early learning centers, prepare donated books for distribution and fulfill book requests, help out in the office, and assist with special events. Learn more about all of our programs here.
Become a Reading Role Model
Research shows that reading aloud to children greatly increases their ability to learn to read and build essential literacy skills. We are currently recruiting volunteers for our Reading Is Fundamental program for the 2022-2023 school year. Click here to learn more and fill out the interest form! If you have questions, please email caroline@bookem-kids.org.
Volunteer Groups
Note: We are currently unable to offer group volunteer opportunities.
Volunteer groups make an enormous impact. Hundreds (sometimes even thousands!) of books can be sorted and processed in just a few hours of group service. Book'em hosts groups of up to 10 volunteers throughout the work week to help sort, clean, stamp, shelve, & box up donated books. This is a fun opportunity for businesses, civic groups, clubs, teams, and more to serve together while doing good in the community. Evening and weekend opportunities are available upon request. Please email books@bookem-kids.org if you are interested in bringing your group to volunteer.
