Langston Events - January
-- Second Saturday of Each Month 9:00am-12:00pm
Reading to Kids
Langston ELC and the Howard University's Alumni Club of Los Angeles invite you to participate in Reading to Kids. Reading to Kids is a grassroots organization dedicated to inspiring underserved children with a love of reading, thereby enriching their lives and opportunities for success in the future. To this end, Reading to Kids gathers on average 720 children and 308 volunteers at reading clubs on the second Saturday of every month at seven Los Angeles elementary schools. At the monthly reading clubs, pairs of volunteers read aloud to small groups of children, while their parents receive training on how to encourage their children to read at home. Kids, parents, teachers, and school libraries receive book donations at the end of the Reading Clubs. These are important donations, as 60 percent of low-income homes do not have age-appropriate reading materials for children.
Location: Leo Politi Elementary School, 2481 West 11th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90006
In order to volunteer, please sign up at http://readingtokids.org/RSVP/VolRSVPConnect.php.
Please enter: Langston ELC as your group affiliation. Sign Up Today! Also, represent by wearing your Langston paraphernalia.
