Give Time: Volunteers Like You Make the Difference!
|
Do you have a passion for children's literacy and exposing young children to the wonderful world of books? Do you want to help RIF NOVA put children’s books in the hands of deserving children in our community? If so, RIF NOVA could use your help! Sign up to volunteer by clicking here. Leadership: Do you have skills running an organization? Do you have financial or organizational skills? Again, we could use your help to work with schools, parent-teacher organizations, businesses, and more! Please join our board! Fundraising: Fundraising is our most pressing need as the federal government no longer funds many literacy programs, including RIF NOVA. All of our funding needs to be raised locally. Grant Writing: Grants may be available to help raise funds. Do you have grant-writing skills or experience? Please let us know! Event planning: Do you like to plan events? If so, we would love your help to plan and execute our biannual Book It For Books 5K Run/Walk. The most recent one took place in October 2023. Soliciting business sponsors and helping with other fundraising activities significantly increases the number of books we can supply to children in our community. |

Program Development: Do you have an idea for a book distribution that would help provide books and contribute to active learning? Let us know. Pitch it! Let's brainstorm it! Let's make it happen!
Social media expertise: Are you a social media guru? If so, we would use your help to spread the word about RIF NOVA's many activities!
Book Drives: Interested in setting up a book drive to collect new and/or (very) gently used books? Would you like to help distribute books at book donation events? If so, come join us. Wait until you see the joy on a child's face when receiving a book to own!
We are a hands-on, all-volunteer organization, and there’s plenty of work to do! Contact us if you would like to help promote a love of books and reading to NOVA children.The Oakton/Vienna Junior Volunteer League (pictured below) made bookmarks and goodie bags to pair with their book donations to RIF NOVA. The books and bookmarks were handed out to delighted children at Mount Eagle Elementary School, thanks to RIF NOVA liaison Mary Frances Daly.
