Do you love books and reading? Do you want to pass that feeling of excitement and discovery onto children, living in disadvantaged or remote circumstances who traditionally come from bookless homes? If so, you may want to consider becoming a Books in Homes Role Model.

Our live and virtual Role Models volunteer to inspire young readers on the Books in Homes® Program by attending Book Giving Assemblies at primary schools, preschools and early childhood and family centres across Australia.

Role Models come from all walks of life—Aboriginal Elders, children’s book authors and illustrators, graphic novelists, accountants, sports people, performers, celebrities, journalists, firefighters and other emergency services personnel, illusionists, and many others who represent a multitude of professions.

Here’s what you do:

* Speak, perform, or do live illustration or similar for about ten minutes at live or online Book Giving Assemblies
* Share your own personal or professional inspirational story about how books and reading have impacted positively on your life or career path
* Have FUN!!! Read a story, sing a song, write a poem and engage with students
* Inspire children to do their best
* Visit classrooms at live assemblies (if time permits)
* Hand out Book Bags to children at live assemblies, and feel like Santa Clause or the Book Fairy
* Reinforce the Books in Homes® motto… “Read to succeed!”

Here’s what you need to know:

* Your commitment would be a maximum of one Book Giving Assembly during Terms 1, 2 and 4 of the school year. This equates to one hour for the Assembly and around 30 minutes travel time in each direction if you live in urban areas (ie. around 2 to 2.5 hours per term) and up to 90 minutes travel in each direction if you live in regional or remote areas (ie. around 4 hours per term). Virtual assemblies take about 45 minutes.
* Assemblies are usually held during the last three weeks of each operating term (ie. March / April, May / June, and November / December)
* We will feature your photo, caption and a link to your website in the Role Model Gallery on the Books in Homes website
* We also feature Role Models in the “Role Model Rostrum” column of our monthly ezine THE BRIDGE, as well as do “Shout Outs!” to our Role Models in our ezine and on social media
* You’ll feel AMAZING!
