Founding chapters
We are opening a small number of founding chapters, and we would rather back a few people who mean it than collect a long list. If you would run a book drive without being asked, tell us where you are.
A drive you run puts actual books in actual classrooms, and you can point to it.
Pages of Joy is youth-led. A chapter lead runs their own team and their own projects.
You start with a method that has placed storybooks in five states — not from a blank page.
Pages of Joy was started by a four-year-old. If you are under 18 we will ask you to name a parent or teacher to copy in on anything involving travel, money or meeting in person.
The drive pack, the sorting method and guidance on matching books to readers.
Introductions to partners such as schools, radio stations and organisations that find classrooms.
A WhatsApp group with the team and other founding chapter leads.
For now, everything runs on WhatsApp. A proper chapter dashboard will follow once the Pages of Joy app is ready — we would rather begin the work than wait on the software.
