Books for Society is a non-profit organization, supported by literacy programs in southern Alberta. Read On works in partnership with the local health unit to support Books for Babies. Each year, the health unit receives and distributes 1000+ Books for Babies bags. The cost for each bag, containing a hard-cover book, a soft-cover book, and literacy hints and information, is approximately $26. The bags are given to new parents at no charge when they bring their babies to the health unit for their 4-month vaccinations. The other literacy programs also receive free Babies bags and contents to distribute to new parents. Through the distribution of these bags the message of the importance of early literacy reaches a wide audience in Southern Alberta.
The Books for Babies Society is dependent on the funds they receive, primarily from their participation in casinos, to cover the costs of all the Books for Babies bags distributed in southern Alberta. We, in turn, depend on the volunteers who step forward to cover each of the positions required at the casino.

Volunteer mentors are a crucial aspect of our program. We have space for 70 students but only have 4 teachers on staff. It’s impossible for those teachers to build close connections with all the students. Which is where volunteers come in! During our after school program we need volunteers to build relationships with the students and help them participate in the daily program. Our program runs Monday-Thursday from 3:30pm-5:30pm. We ask volunteers to choose one day/week to commit to helping out.
The first hour of our program students are arriving, eating snack and playing games which is the perfect time to visit and check-in with them. The second hour is dependent on the day. We have group music lessons, theory games, music appreciation activities, crafts, wide games, practices or ensemble class. While experience in music is an asset for volunteers, there are lots of other activities that we need support with too.
Having an older mentor has a huge impact on the success and wellbeing of a child. You can make a positive difference in the life of a child at Branches!
