Would you like to volunteer with Prison Reading Groups?
Volunteers help bring our projects to life, whether it’s leading a reading group, helping families choose a book to read together or creating book resources. Prison Reading Groups couldn’t do what we do without our volunteers.
There is more than one way to volunteer with PRG:
Help run a reading group: We do not currently have any vacancies for prison reading groups. However, please register your interest if you would like to be notified when a space becomes available. If you love reading and talking about books, you could co-run a group with a prison librarian or member of staff. We offer training and provide ongoing support. At present we don’t have any in-person prison roles, but this may change and our website will be updated to reflect this.
Family Days: We support Family Days in prison by sending in books for each child to read with their parent and take home as a reminder of the day. Our volunteers help families choose a title and encourage them to share the story together.
Remote volunteering: Volunteers can create resources: book lists, Book Talk and Book Stuff.
