Volunteers Needed - Reading to Kids

More than half of all kindergartners in our state are entering school without the social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills they need to be successful. Research shows that those who start behind often stay behind.

The good news is that reading with kids on a regular basis can make a real difference. That’s why we are inviting you to become a Volunteer Reader for United Way of King County.

We’re looking for friendly, dependable people to read with young kids—one-on-one (not group reading)—at select preschools, Head Start classrooms, and child care centers throughout King County. All sites and shift times are listed via web link below.

We particularly need volunteers in Renton, Auburn, Kent, Burien, and DesMoines and Seattle’s Lake City, Central District, Beacon Hill and Rainier Valley.

By simply committing 1 hour a week of your time, you can have a profound impact on the lives and outcomes of young children in our community. Visit www.unitedwayofkingcounty.org/readers
for more information and to sign up to be a part of our team.
All opportunities are between 9am-4pm Monday to Friday only. We ask for a 6-month weekly commitment.

Please forward this to anyone who might be interested in this opportunity. Together we can create positive, lasting change in our community. We look forward to hearing from you!
