Reach Out and Read Volunteers

Our Reach Out and Read Sites need adult volunteers. Reach Out and Read reading volunteers are based in the doctor's office waiting room and engage a child or children of any age with books and reading aloud, and make it fun! In addition, volunteers model for parents the pleasures and techniques of reading aloud. 

Interested in becoming a volunteer reader? Learn more about CHOP's volunteer requirements and application process. For information about being a Reach Out and Read clerical volunteer, please call 215-590-5989.
