Volunteer Opportunity description

WePAC is looking for a few great new volunteers to join our existing library teams!

WePAC-- the West Philadelphia Alliance for Children-- donates books, updates school libraries and trains community members as library volunteers who work as a team to run the library.Library volunteers read with students, check out books together and work on fun literacy activities, such as writing poems, drawing, singing and acting.

Join us on Tuesdays at Powel School in Powelton Village, West Philadelphia, or volunteer with another school during the school day Monday to Friday.

No library experience required …only a love to read!

We also have opportunities at other schools in West Philadelphia, including classroom and after school opportunities! Join a new volunteer orientation session to learn more!

Email info@wepac.org for orientation dates, to schedule an interview or for more information.
