News10 is proud to provide you with our Reading Connects program which is our campaign to promote literacy in our community. But we are even more excited that you...our viewers...are just as passionate about the cause!

If you know of a literacy volunteer opportunity, we want to hear about it.

Please email the information to writer@news10.net

We'll post it on News10 My Neighborhood, so potential volunteers can learn about it and contact you.

The more we all share, the more opportunities we'll have for you...and the greater the impact we'll make in our communities.
