Amidst the recent pandemic, VTSEVA’s Seattle branch came together to create Virtual Reading for Kids, a program made to support families affected by the stay-at-home order in which entertainment, daycare, and other child services were limited. Through the program, we not only provided a fun and engaging activity for kids bi-weekly, but also raised money for VTSEVA’s Covid Relief Fund from participating families.
Twice a week, volunteers of all ages came to read stories from picture books to indian classic comics to short chapter books over Webex. Through our program’s webpage, children from across the nation were able to easily join sessions from our online link and enjoy a virtual read-along from the comfort of their home. Through our efforts we were able to attract kids from Washington, Ohio, California, North Carolina, Texas, and many more. Furthermore, we attracted many passionate volunteers ranging from adults to elementary students eager to converse and support others in their community during these stressful times.
