Volunteers helped us support more than 4,400 students between the ages of 6-18 in the District of Columbia in 2014 and 2015. Volunteers create and lead or support writing workshops; mentor students in writing and literacy; support publishing projects and book releases; provide small group homework help; guide children through story creation; illustrate stories; and spread the word in our storefront, the Museum of Unnatural History. All volunteers must be 18 or older and complete a background check in order to work directly with our students.
