Help World Speech Day South Africa with 100 volunteers for reading to children at our reading corners
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Volunteer Opportunity: Inspire Young Readers! World Speech Day South Africa is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join our team and make a difference! We need dedicated individuals to help run and facilitate book clubs for children at our reading corners in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Hammanskraal, and Makapanstad (Northwest). As a volunteer, you'll have the chance to visit our reading corners 2-4 times a week to read to young learners, sparking their imaginations and helping build a love for reading. If you're passionate about literacy, storytelling, and working with kids, we’d love to have you join us! Become part of a community dedicated to empowering the next generation of readers.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
