All of WePAC’s programs are provided by volunteers who give their time to work in a school library, classroom, or newspaper club. WePAC is only able to provide its literacy-based services to thousands of young students because of the selflessness, dedication, and talents of these volunteers. In order to continue to grow and to serve more students and schools, we are always looking for people who want to serve in this important way. We place volunteers throughout the school year!
