On July 28th, 2021 several RCA members reunited on Zoom to continue their support for BookSpring, a non-profit organization that helps with literacy in economically challenged areas. After communicating with Ms.Thorne, the Ed Program Manager at BookSpring regarding the volunteer work that was needed, the main focus this time was set on elementary schools. Riverside County AYLUS members transferred some of the data over to several new sheets that were provided by BookSpring. In addition, the members researched some of the newer zip codes and new data was added.
Helping communities that are not only economically challenged but that are also challenged literacy-wise is a cause that RCA members feel is worth continued support.
Volunteers: Nicholas Navarro (1 hr), Chandler Berry (1 hr), Alyssa Paulsen (1 hr), Kayla Paulsen (1 hr), Sophie Chung (1.5 hr), Evan Chang (2 hrs)
