We'll Reach Out
One of our team members will reach out to you talk to you a little bit more about our program and to set up an interview.
Interview With Us
Interview with one of our Team Members. We take great pride in our partnerships. We want to make sure our program is a good fit.
Background Check and VIP Readers
Since some of our partnerships have ‘Listeners’ in schools and hospitals with small children a few of our opportunities require a background check. If you’d like to become one of our VIP Readers let us know. We ask our VIP Readers to pay for their own background checks or apply for one of our donated enrollments.
Schedule a Reading Time
Once you’re enrolled in our reading programs, we make it easy to schedule your reading times.
Get your Read in Red Swag
Order your Read in Red T-Shirt so you’re ready for your first volunteer reading time. We ask our Readers to purchase their own T-Shirts or apply for one of our donated enrollments.
Get Prepared for your Reading
Detailed instructions about who you will be reading to or where you will be sent to you. If its your first opportunity with one of our reading partners, be sure to leave yourself extra time to figure out where you’re going. Be on time!
Wear your Shirt
Wear your Read in Red T-Shirt so you can be easily guided by the organization.
