Online Reading Volunteer
Doorstep Library Online Reading Volunteers visit the same families online via Zoom every week to share their love of reading with the children they visit. Volunteers visit families in pairs every week.
Our volunteers don’t just read stories though; they do silly voices, handpick the e-books, and give special recommendations for each child. These books fuel children’s natural love of stories, fire their imaginations, and encourage their appreciation of reading.
Through our long-term approach, our volunteers build trusting relationships with families, helping to connect them with the community and signposting to additional sources of local support. We are there to support children and families who need us most.
Our online projects run on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4.30pm to 6.30pm. We have a weekly volunteer opportunity or a stand-in opportunity. Stand-ins fill in for when regular volunteers aren't available and volunteer every 3 weeks.
