    READING TO KIDS: May 9th Reading Clubs

    Join us on May 9th, 2026 and help kids discover the joy of reading!

    Reading to Kids hosts fun and engaging monthly reading clubs from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Our reading clubs serve students in underserved Los Angeles communities and are hosted at 7 different elementary schools in the Pico-Union and Westlake areas.

    As a volunteer, you will:

    • Read aloud to a small group of 4 to 6 students (K to 5th grade)
    • Lead simple discussions and arts & craft activities
    • Help create a positive and encouraging reading experience

    No teaching experience is required. Sessions are structured and supported by teachers and experienced volunteers.

    This is a great opportunity if you enjoy working with kids, want to give back, or are looking for a flexible monthly volunteer activity!

    To volunteer at our reading clubs on May 9th, please visit www.readingtokids.org to register and RSVP

    Volunteers must be 18 or older.
