My Nonprofit Reviews

I heard about Women’s Storybook Project through the Junior League’s list of placement opportunities. Reading the mission statement immediately touched my heart and the chance to help connect incarcerated moms with their kids excited me greatly. The tragedy of the high percentage of incarcerated women who are moms is heartbreaking and I believe it is a population that deserves extra attention. There is strong research on the positive impact of parents reading to their children and the WSP moms’ kids cherish listening to their mom’s voice as they read along in the book at home. I volunteered in the Lockhart unit and helped transfer the moms’ tape recordings onto CDs and URL links - hearing snippets of the loving messages to each of their kids. The wide selection of books WSP provides is also wonderful. I’ve never worked with a non-profit that has such a devoted, long-term, and tight group of volunteers and an excellent staff.
