My Own Book Teen Volunteers have Fun Sharing the Joy of Reading!
Image
Our teen volunteers are the best! They make reading fun by picking fun books to read aloud and acting out the stories. They engage the kids as they read, and serve as role models for the younger children.
Many of our volunteers are bilingual which is great since we often read to children that speak both spanish and english.
By volunteering with My Own Book teens get a sense of pride of being part of the community, helping others, and it is great to work with younger children. Plus, we have a great time at events!

Kids love choosing their very own book

You know how in school the teacher picks the book for the class to read and you just groan?
