Volunteer with Read to Grow
Help Us Give Every Child the Gift of Literacy
At Read to Grow, volunteers are the heart of our mission. Whether assembling literacy packets for new parents or placing books in the hands of children across Connecticut, our volunteers make it all possible. We are deeply grateful for your time, energy, and dedication—we truly couldn’t do this without you.
While volunteer opportunities at Read to Grow may not happen every day, when they do, they’re always meaningful, and deeply rewarding. Whether you’re assembling literacy packets for new parents or helping distribute books at community events, every moment you give helps put stories and smiles into the hands of children who need them most.
