About this Opportunity

HandsOn South Florida’s Literacy League is dedicated to helping students develop a love and excitement for reading, setting them up for educational success throughout their schooling.

For this project, volunteers are invited to create Superhero Cape Bundles that will be donated to students during our upcoming “Super Reader Day”, a guest reading opportunity at local schools and Afterschool Literacy Programs at community centers to assist students in building their own home libraries and continue reading at home.

Our hope is to inspire children to use their imaginations and encourage their love for literacy through creative play! Local community centers as well as public schools which are in underserved areas in our local area can benefit from these Superhero bundles and help promote reading. 

PLEASE NOTE: Due to an overwhelming response to our monthly DIY projects, we can only accept TWO (2) Superhero Cape Bundles per participant. Participants will receive FIVE (5) volunteer service hours per bundle, with a maximum of TEN (10) service hours total.
