Opportunity Details
Bundle Books & Literacy Materials for Kids (age 15+) *Hands On*
Every kid should arrive at kindergarten ready for school success. Our vision at Early Learning Washington County (ELWC) is that every child in Washington County is prepared to succeed in school and life, regardless of race, ethnicity or class. Focusing on kids age 0-6, ELWC will reduce the disparity of opportunities and disproportionate risks for children of color, children with disabilities, English-language learners, low-income children, homeless and migrant children, and abused and trauma-affected children. This supports United Way of the Columbia-Willamette’s larger goal of breaking the cycle of childhood poverty in the four-county region.
Help us promote literacy skills for very young children by putting together culturally-specific "literacy bundles" -- made up of books and family literacy activity guides -- for distribution to thousands of kids across Washington County. Thanks to a grant from the State of Oregon, Early Learning Washington County has worked with culturally specific organizations, the Multnomah County Library, and First Book to create culturally responsive tools that parents can use with their young children to help get them ready for kindergarten.
Volunteers will help by:
• Placing Early Learning Washington stickers on each book
• Sorting the books by language and age break down
• Bundling 1 book with one family literacy activity guide and prop
• Once the Travel Book Bags are assembled, preparing orders for provider agencies
This is a great indoor volunteer role for folks who prefer to be standing up/sitting as they work. Manual dexterity is required. Come with a smile and bring a snack to keep you fueled as we work to create 2,500+ bundles of literacy materials in just three and a half hours!
