NOTES OF ENCOURAGEMENT VOLUNTEERING

Notes of encouragement are an easy way to give back to our community by uplifting our youngest students as they prepare to enter kindergarten! This volunteer opportunity is open to individual volunteers and workplaces year-round.

Volunteers will write notes of encouragement for our Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library graduates. The Imagination Library provides books to children from birth to age five at no cost to the children’s families to enhance kindergarten readiness.
