Literacy Outreach Volunteer

0303141041a

A Literacy Outreach Volunteer assists the Early Learning Coalition with special events and Literacy Outreach Programs as needed. The programs include:

  • Themed Literacy Programs:  All during the year, different literacy-based theme programs are put on in different 3-5 year old classrooms.  Volunteers assist the programs along with an ELC staff member.  Volunteers also serve as readers and help the kids with the different learning activities. Volunteers can also help putting office materials together as well.
  • Costume Attendant:  Volunteers can assist by wearing one of the many book character costumes that the ELC has at different events.
  • Special Reading Event Reader:  Each year the ELC participates in large reading events like Read for the Record in October.  Special guest readers are also needed occasionally just for the day at local child care centers. The book is provided.

Requirements:  A volunteer application must be filled out and a level one, background screening must be processed. All forms can be found below. For more information, contact Joan Whitson, Early Literacy Coordinator at 904-342-2267 or [email protected].
