3) Be available for most, if not all, book distribution
events (other scheduled programs should be fun, too). This
is typically during the summer - beginning at the end June
and ending in September.
4) Please circulate the word
that participation as an ambassador has been used to fulfill
high school community service credit requirements, but is
otherwise voluntary.
Testimonials (B4B graduates):
David Henninger, Marymount, NYC, 2013 Lake H.S.
-
"I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience that is
B4B. Books 4 Buddies is more than your everyday
non-profit organization. B4B is an experience.
-
It is a living, breathing organism that has grown and
continues to grow. That is the most exciting thing
about B4B. It has reached so many lives and has already
made a noticeable impact but it still has the potential
to make even more of an impact. It is wonderful to see
the smiling faces of the children we impact as
ambassadors.
-
To have that one on one experience is unique and
something I really value. I enjoy working to promote
B4B online and in the community because I believe
strongly in what we can do."
Malcolm Johnson, Harvard University, 2013 Sylvania South

-
A huge factor that comes into play when colleges decide
whether to admit an applicant is their character and
volunteering only illuminates qualities of good
character. I would spend countless hours surfing the web
and asking my fellow classmates about possible volunteer
hours.
-
My ample volunteering opportunities presented me with a
way to discuss with underprivileged youth the importance
of reading books for intellectual growth.
-
My most satisfying experience as an ambassador was
simply being able to read to the young children and show
them that reading is a “cool” activity to participate
in.
Volunteering for me is a great way to serve others
without expecting anything in return.
-
Becoming an ambassador for books 4 buddies was one of
the best decisions I have made in my life thus far.
We hope
to hear from you.
