The Reading Connection is excited to announce a new partnership with the National Center for Children and Families to launch a Read-Aloud program at the Greentree Shelter in Bethesda, MD. The Read-Aloud program's goal is to share the joy and excitement of books with children living in homeless shelters and affordable apartment complexes. Volunteers bring books to life during one-hour Read-Alouds that engage children in books and hands-on activities based on a theme.
The Read-Aloud program at Greentree will be held on Tuesdays from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. beginning in late August, 2014 and continuing throughout the year. Volunteers work in teams to plan and implement their Read-Alouds which are held according to a set schedule.
Read-Aloud volunteers must attend an orientation session, clear a background check and commit to reading one Tuesday a month on a set schedule for a minimum of one year. All volunteers must be 18 years of age. Orientations will be held on Saturday, July 19 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and on Wednesday, August 6 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Volunteer Training Center at the National Center for Children and Families (NCCF) Headquarters. Food is served at all orientation sessions.
