| Research Hint |
| Most United Way affiliates can help with recruitment. Their offices may send out press releases advertising your project's need for volunteers. Civic organizations offer luncheon and breakfast opportunities to speak about volunteer needs. Local papers may feature a regular volunteer opportunities section. Large corporations often have employee volunteer coordinators that funnel contacts. Possibilities abound. |

| What others have done |
| In Jackson, Wyoming, three projects have combined efforts to serve children. Adolescent girls in GAP! (Girls Actively Participating) tutor and mentor elementary students who are involved in either the America Reads tutoring program or an after-school care program.
Land of Sky Regional Council RSVP program places volunteers in literacy councils and schools in Buncombe, Henderson, Madison, and Transylvania counties in North Carolina. This year more than 100 RSVP volunteers serve as tutors in local schools.
Building Reciprocity: Many national service coordinators talk at local civic organizations' meetings and breakfasts to spread the word about their services. After such presentations, the AmeriCorps program in Laramie, Wyoming, receives as many calls from those who want to become tutors as they do from those who want to be tutored. |
