My Nonprofit Reviews

Participating in DEEP's Read Across America Day was truly rewarding. As part of a diverse group of volunteers from the US Navy, San Diego Fire Department, and first responders, we had the opportunity to engage with young students and share our love of reading. The classroom was decorated with colorful reading-themed displays, creating an inviting atmosphere for the children.

I particularly enjoyed how the program brought together community members from different backgrounds to promote literacy. The students were eager to interact with us, asking questions about both the books and our professions. Seeing their excitement when we read stories together reinforced the importance of DEEP's mission to encourage reading and learning.

This initiative effectively bridges the gap between community services and education, showing students how reading connects to real-world careers and opportunities.
