Jerrika Hinton Instagram – Hello! Do you love storytelling? Do you love seeing kids’ eyes light up when they share a great idea? Do you love the way Jackson Heights’ own Mr. Randy Watson sings, “I believe the children are our future?” That last one doesn’t relate, but I’d love to know lol!
As an @826la volunteer, I’m thrilled to help out with this year’s gala. They are a literacy-focused organization that does such wonderful work with schools around the city — encouraging children to write and become authors (they even publish the work of some of the schools they partner with). They host weekly Choose Your Own Adventure workshops where elementary kids create their own illustrated CYOA books to take home (that’s my favorite program to volunteer with); and, amongst many other things, they help high school students develop personal essays for the college admissions process.
They’re a great organization that is always looking for more volunteers. I invite you to check them out and get inspired 🤗🌟🥰 | Posted on 28/Mar/2024 09:02:35
