Volunteers can participate in several ways.
All you need is one person who can act as the Junior Great Books coordinator to recruit leaders, schedule training, and place the order for materials. Some programs start with one leader per grade level. The most important things for a volunteer to have are an interest in working with children and an appreciation of literature. The only requirement for leading a Junior Great Books group is to complete a training course offered by the Great Books Foundation. In the course, new leaders learn how to develop interpretive questions and keep discussions focused and productive.
