Volunteer Your Time With Kindergarten Readiness
Kindergarten Readiness (KR) is one of our major programs. We have two sessions each fall and spring. In the fall, Fox
Elementary and 30th Avenue Preschool Center host our KR sessions. In the spring, Muscogee and Cusseta Road
elementary schools are our host schools. As a volunteer you will be trained on the procedures for this program, and get to choose
the school and day you would like to volunteer. If you are interested, email columbusreads@earthlink.net to receive information on our upcoming session.
Donate Books
Any new or used books in good condition are greatly appreciated.
One-Time Events
We also have one-time volunteer opportunities available. At some of our events -- such as our Annual Dictionary Labeling
Event, Book Parade, Heroes Read, or our Annual Corporate Trivia Bee -- we need volunteers for support. Check out
our "Events" page to see what we're doing in our community. Contact us if you're available to help on that
day or simply come out and bring friends to show your support for improving literacy in our community.
