Books Across America - Volunteer Opportunities

First Book is thrilled to join forces with the NEA and the Heart of America Foundation to support Books Across America. This page offers you—and the children you work with—simple volunteer opportunities designed to help provide brand new books to children across the delta region affected by the hurricanes.

Be a 10-second volunteer by clicking on The Literacy Site. In just a few seconds, and with a simple click, you can help provide books to children in need. Real books will go to real kids with just a click, at no cost to you. Be sure to click everyday!
Help provide free books to programs in your community. By registering with the First Book Literacy Registry, community-based programs serving low-income children can receive free books from the First Book National Book Bank and deeply discounted books from the First Book Marketplace. Sign up your group today and forward this link to others in your area!
Sign up to volunteer at a National Book Bank distribution. Volunteer your time in a First Book warehouse—in the Gulf Coast region or in your home state—to help put brand new books in children’s hands!
Join or start a First Book volunteer Advisory Board. First Book Advisory Boards provide brand new books to children from low-income families in more than 250 communities across the United States. Get involved with a group near you!
Host a “Classrooms for Classrooms” fundraiser. This simple online tool teaches children the power of helping other children via a fun online fundraiser that can involve your classroom—or the entire community!
Purchase books for children affected by the hurricanes. First Book and the NEA are teaming up to offer deeply discounted Dr. Seuss titles that you can purchase for hurricane victims.
