Volunteer visits
Free visits, earned — not just handed out.
Our volunteer visit program connects Title I schools and under-resourced classrooms with authors who believe every kid deserves this experience. Both sides earn the match.
1
Show the need
Title I schools, stretched budgets, limited arts programming — demonstrate why this visit matters.
2
Show the commitment
Name a staff lead, describe how you'll prepare students, and plan to sustain the excitement.
3
Make the day count
Authors give their best; schools give the infrastructure to make it land.
