2025-2026 DIY Superhero Cape & Book Bundle

HandsOn South Florida’s Literacy League is dedicated to helping students develop a love and excitement for reading, setting them up for educational success throughout their schooling.

For this project, volunteers are invited to create Superhero Cape Bundles that will be donated to students during our upcoming “Super Reader Day”, a guest reading opportunity at local schools and Afterschool Literacy Programs at community centers to assist students in building their own home libraries and continue reading at home.

Our hope is to inspire children to use their imaginations and encourage their love for literacy through creative play! Local community centers as well as public schools which are in underserved areas in our local area can benefit from these Superhero bundles and help promote reading. 

Participants will receive (5) volunteer service hours per bundle. 

NOTE: Some Broward County Public Schools are limiting the number of volunteer hours students can do per year. I would check with your school to make sure that they are not putting a limit on how many cape bundles each student can donate.
