Storymobile Team Member

Reading Is FUNdamental Pittsburgh is looking for a bright, energetic, entrepreneurial individual to join our team.

RIF Pittsburgh is dedicated to reducing the literacy gap in our community by providing books and motivational literacy programming to our community’s most economically disadvantaged children.

The Storymobile program offers RIF Pittsburgh a unique opportunity to engage at-risk families and children in their own neighborhoods. In bi-weekly visits, this lending library-on-wheels travels to early childhood centers, pre-K and K classrooms and public housing communities to engage parents, caregivers, and children on the importance of literacy. These frequent visits allow RIF Pittsburgh to build strong relationships within these communities, tailor programming to their unique preferences and needs, and hopefully develop the Storymobile into a gathering place for positive, multi-generational interaction. Our Storymobile also participates in community events throughout the year, increasing our presence and impact, as well as raising awareness of our activities and our role in the local literacy community.
