Volunteer
Volunteers have an
enormous impact!
Volunteering with READ USA is a life-changing opportunity for the volunteer and the students we serve. From preparing books for students to choose to advancing our mission at events across Northeast Florida, there are a number of ways that volunteers can have an impact on children, teens, and families in our communities.
