Volunteer Opportunities From: United Way of Southern Nevada Volunteer Connect

Book Preps make children feel special by cleaning and repairing gently used books that Spread the Word Nevada distributes every month to underserved schools. Thousands of children don't have books of their own and we need volunteers to ensure books get into their hands.

Perfect for groups and individuals, we have two shifts to choose from. All supplies and instructions will be given onsite.
