Do you love children and books? We are seeking 3-4 program volunteers to run monthly programs at various elementary schools in Vancouver. At each session, elementary students come in class by class and select a book to keep, to promote a love of reading and improved literacy. Each class attends for about 15 minutes and volunteers interact with the students as they select a book.
At each session, volunteers move boxes of books from the storage area, set them out in bins/create a display, help students choose a book, apply a sticker, write their name, and return the books to the storage area. Commitment is once per month for 3-4 hours. Available time slots are Monday mornings (9:45-noon) , Tuesday morning (8:45- noon), or Tuesday afternoon (12:30-3).
A criminal record check is required. Must be able to lift boxes up to 30 lbs.
