About Volunteers

Volunteers Needed

It is a new year and our team here at the Family Literacy Center has started a new

initiative called “Utilizing Our Talents.” We know that many of our volunteers have

exceptional skills in specific areas and we may be not tapping into that incredible pool of

talents.  We hope to change this.

Thanks to our partnership with the Lapeer District Library and other funders, we were able to offer Playgroups for families with young children. This program targets children from birth to age 5 and their parents. At playgroups, we facilitate learning and developmental activities while having fun. The program includes activities in a structured and predictable manner which help develop critical skills for young children. This group meets once a week for six weeks. Spots fill up fast so register today!

Kindergarten Readiness was a new program we offered in 2009 funded through a Great Parents and Great Start Lapeer grant. This program offers information, instructional materials and books to 4 and 5 year olds preparing for kindergarten and their parents. Families were able to try out activities which demonstrate if a child has critical school readiness skills. Parent evaluations were extremely positive for this pilot program, and we hope to be able to offer this program long into the future.
