Volunteer & Lead

Thank you for your interest in getting involved and offering your time to help guide our organization in our mission of connecting research and practice to improve the quality of literacy learning around the globe.

Here are some of the ways to get involved:

Serve on the ILA Board of Directors

As ILA continues to grow and expand globally, the selection of its governance leaders remains critical to the organization’s success and future sustainability.

Work with an ILA committee

ILA committees address specific subjects within a range of areas such as adolescent literacy, early literacy, and literacy leadership, as well as guide the process and selection of winners for our awards and grants programs. Email volunteer@reading.org if you are interested in serving on an ILA committee and we’ll let you know of opportunities available.

Participate in ILA Digital Events

ILA Digital Events have provided learning and networking opportunities for thousands of educators from across the globe. Learn more about the participant roles available for ILA members and share your expertise by completing the ILA Digital Events Volunteer Form.

With ILA’s three peer-reviewed journals plus its member magazine, opportunities abound to contribute as a writer or reviewer.
