Enthusiastic volunteers wanted in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month! We encourage folks who identify as Latine/x to sign up, but community members of all racial/gender identities are welcome to participate in this event.

Read books (provided by the ) to students in 2-3 elementary school classrooms at Sequoia Elementary in Oakland, California! Reading aloud to children helps them develop important skills and build a lifelong love of reading.

As a , you’ll also have a chance to ask students questions about the book read and share about yourself (your connection to Hispanic Heritage Month, your connection to Oakland, and why you’re excited to be there!).

Don’t forget to spread the word and invite your coworkers & friends to join you in volunteering! Volunteering together not only strengthens our impact, but also provides a chance to bond.

This event is organized in partnership with the nonprofit Oakland Public Education Fund, which connects groups with schools to make a positive impact on school culture and student achievement through relevant and meaningful volunteer projects.

In case you can't make this time but are interested, you can sign up for another date/time to volunteer Oct 7-11 in Oakland.
