Volunteers beat the heat today travelling to the YAI Forest Hills, Queens facility.

Overall BookPALS volunteers read to 9 different classrooms and over 100 students.

“YAI is a network of agencies offering people with intellectual and developmental disabilities a comprehensive range of services across the lifespan” -http://www.yai.org/about/

BookPALS are so happy to be reading at the YAI facilites. Volunteers are blown away with the commitment and enthusiasm of YAI schools.


Also with the help of the Brooke Jackman Foundation all the books read during the read aloud were then donated to the school!

BookPALS are really making a difference everytime they step into a classroom. Thank you for all that you do!
