SERVE Philadelphia READ! By 4th Volunteer Coordinator
 
 
 
The Free Library of Philadelphia is looking for a Volunteer Coordinator VISTA to work on initiatives for the READ! By 4th campaign. READ! By 4th is a citywide campaign working through aligned programmatic efforts of 50 partners to get Philadelphia’s students reading on grade level by the end of 3rd grade. The Volunteer Coordinator position will be the first person to play a role in citywide coordination of volunteers in support of grade level reading. This position will be key to envisioning, creating and implementing systems that will allow individuals and groups to volunteer in support of the Campaign’s goals. This VISTA will develop relationships with existing organizations such as Foster Grandparents and AARP / Experience Corps, seek opportunities for alignment and efficiencies, and put in place infrastructure that will allow READ! By 4th partners to more effectively utilize volunteers.
