One of the unique aspects of First Book’s work is that anyone can get involved locally, in one of hundreds of communities across the country. Volunteers come together to form an Advisory Board, a committee representing a community or campus, to raise awareness and funds in order to provide new books to local programs serving children from low-income families.

There are many opportunities to serve, from helping on a one-time basis to becoming an ongoing Advisory Board member or chairperson.

This week, the great work done by First Book Advisory Board volunteers is being highlighted on The Literacy Site. Be sure to visit the site today and while you’re there, click to help fund new books for kids in need (it’s easy and free!).
