Twice a year, Fall and Spring, our program places community volunteers in classrooms for read aloud sessions. This year, our Fall Session is the week of October 14th – 18th. We will be hosting reading sessions for preschoolers at Kids Inc. locations in Leon, Jefferson, and Madison counties. Below is the link to sign-up for thirty-minute slots from 8:30-10 AM. Volunteers will be directed to their classroom upon arrival, where they will read to the students and drop off book donations for their classroom.

UWBB started READ UNITED in 2010 to encourage a love of reading in children and to provide resources to get them started on their own literacy journey. Reading can open new worlds and enrich the lives of the children in our community. READ UNITED promotes the spirit and value of volunteerism and demonstrates what people working together for the good of the community can accomplish. An initiative of WOMEN UNITED, it enlists members and community volunteers to read classic tales and new stories in pre-kindergarten through first grade classrooms across the Big Bend area. Every class that participates receives brand new, FREE books to add to their class library. Since the beginning of the program that’s Over 40,000 books!
