Volunteer of the Year Awards

Volunteer of the Year Pull-QuoteOver 450,000 RIF volunteers donate their time, talents, and energy to motivate children to read at 25,000 RIF sites across the country. These individuals share a common goal of fostering children’s literacy by helping to distribute free books to those children who need them most.

The Anne Richardson RIF Volunteer of the Year Awards program presented by Nestlé USA recognizes the inspiring work of RIF volunteers and volunteer coordinators nationwide. The awards program celebrates the dedication and service of truly outstanding volunteers and recognizes the contributions these individuals have made to their communities. Everyone benefits from the awards — the children, the volunteers, and their communities.

Outdoor Read AloudBy offering recognition for the extraordinary contributions of volunteers, RIF seeks to inspire others to excel in their service to children’s and family literacy. RIF also seeks to engage children’s literacy volunteers and advocates in celebrating the spirit and practice of volunteerism and in honoring the accomplishments of RIF volunteers who encourage and nurture young readers. This prestigious award is named for, and is a tribute to, RIF’s former chairman emerita, the late Anne Hazard Richardson.
