Volunteering during Covid-19

Update February 2022

WPBP will be returning to in-person Sunday mailings in March 2022! Follow us on social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) for announcements or check back at this page!

Book mailings: in-person | indoors | masks on | vaccinated

We have been doing in person mailings all of 2021 and plan to continue in 2022. We took a brief hiatus in January and February 2022 during the latest pandemic surge but are going back to Sunday in-person mailings again starting in March. We are asking all volunteers to be fully vaccinated and boosted and to wear a high-grade mask. Volunteers must sign-up in advance to limit the number of people in our space at any time. To get on our volunteer sign-up list, please email your request to womensprisonbookproject@gmail.com

Other Volunteer Opportunities

If you have time and energy, we can find a way to help you contribute to WPBP. If you or a group you are involved in would like to organize a fundraiser for WPBP, please contact us at below.

We also can organize a special book mailing and presentation for your organization. Please note, we ask your organization to cover the cost of postage associated with the mailing, typically a $250-$500 sliding fee scale depending on organization size and budget. This allows us to sustainably add additional mailings beyond our standard Sunday mailings. We don’t want cost to be a barrier to volunteering, so please reach out with questions or if you want to discuss alternative options.

Book Drives or Soliciting Book Donations

Other volunteer opportunities include soliciting donations from publishers and organizations, or holding book drives for us that collect specific genres of books we need. If you or a group you are involved in would like to organize a a book drive for WPBP, please contact us at our email or use the form below.
