Join our enthusiastic Readers Theater and share your love of reading with grade school aged children. Volunteers (ages 55 and better) bring stories to life by reading from scripts using their voices to convey the emotion and fun from children’s stories.

Readers Theater volunteers perform as a group for students in Kindergarten through 5th Grade in St. Cloud, Sartell, Sauk Rapids, Rice, Waite Park, and other areas nearby. This flexible position allows volunteers to choose when and where they're involved. Volunteers may also be called upon to make group decisions with the interest of the audience and the promotion of literacy in mind. Volunteers will also participate in monthly performance planning meetings held on the 4th Monday of each month (September-May, no meeting in December) from 1:00-2:00 pm at Whitney Senior Center. 

Do not miss this opportunity to merge your love for reading and the future of our community’s children as we provide the magic of creativity and imagination to our local students!
