Books Between Kids would be nothing without the help of our incredible volunteers. During the 2019-2020 program year, we had over 2,400 volunteers give over 8,500 hours to prepare books for distribution to our partner schools and community programs! Because of the help from people like you we’ve been able to distribute over 1.7 million books to children in Houston!
We are currently not open for public volunteer shifts due to COVID-19 restrictions. IF you would like to schedule a group volunteer shift, or be added to our volunteer waitlist, please contact Lara Powers at volunteer@booksbetweenkids.org. Thank you!
Individuals
We couldn’t do this without you! Volunteer by yourself or gather your family, friends, or classmates and join us as we count, sort, bag, and box books for our partners!
Organizations
Looking for a meaningful and fun way to have your company, church, service group, synagogue, or school club give back to the Houston community? Consider a volunteer shift with BBK!
Book Brigade
If you are a volunteer who feels passionately about our mission here at Books Between Kids, we would love to have you as one of our Book Brigaders. It is a great opportunity to get more involved in our mission and to become a leader in our effort to fight illiteracy in Houston by ensuring that every child is a book owner!
Book Brigaders must be at least 16 years old and have volunteered at least once at Books Between Kids. Book Brigaders should be somewhat familiar with the sorting process at the warehouse and have strong leadership skills. Apply below.
