Volunteer

We are in need of committed volunteers who are willing to assist in furthering our mission of promoting literacy within children from low-income areas. Below is a list of volunteering opportunities. We are going to start implementing an after school reading program in some of Nashville’s middle schools. Therefore, we are needing people willing to read one on one with a student for 1.5 hours a week for 7 weeks! Please fill out the form below and check any volunteering opportunities that you would like to help with.

Our Mission

Ride For Reading's mission is to promote literacy and healthy living through the distribution of books via bicycle to children from low-income neighborhoods. In low-income neighborhoods, the ratio of books per child is 1 age-appropriate book for every 300 children. *Reading is an integral part of education, and without books it is hard to build a strong academic base. Our children need materials to read at home and it is our goal to provide the means.
