Washington County Literacy Council offers several opportunities for volunteers. From the long-term commitment of tutoring an adult non-reader, to periodic short-term or one-time reading projects such as the Literacy Fest or community story times.
WCLC also offers several "Baby Book Bag" days throughout the year. Seamstresses and others come together to sew and organize materials for the Baby Book Bags, given to new mothers at Washington Hospital.
