Shared Reading Facilitator Taster Training

Shared Reading volunteer facilitators required for Belong Club

Imagine a room where people feel comfortable being themselves, speaking, listening, or simply being present. A place where a poem or short story helps people feel a little less alone.

That space is Shared Reading, and we would love to bring Shared Reading to our Belong Club community.

Training to become a Shared Reading facilitator enables you to use your love of reading to gently transform loneliness in your community. You learn to select texts that resonate and use them to help people share meaningful moments with each other, listening deeply and guiding the group with care.

If you’d like to know more about Shared Reading and how to get involved, come along to our taster and information session. The session will be held at Warringah Mall Library and is a relaxed chance to experience Shared Reading for yourself and ask any questions.
