Send books to prisoners Working to enhance education
Last updated on April 21, 2008

For the last 35 years we have been sending books to incarcerated individuals around the country. Help us by coming to a volunteer night and answering some requests, or wrap some packages, or shelve book donations. If you like us, you could also think about fundraising and book acquisition.

Being able to read is pretty essential. A familiarity with authors and subjects can be helpful. It also helps to be a little open-minded!

This opportunity is sponsored by: Books To Prisoners

We need volunteers who are free at these times

Court-ordered  Adults (55+)
