Reading Ambassador Orientation

August 24 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Four middle grade readers gathered around a table reading and writing recommended books on butcher paper.

Reading Ambassadors compile a list of books they suggest for middle school-aged readers.

The Worlds of Words Center welcomes our new cadres of Reading Ambassadors! Middle School Reading Ambassadors (MSRAP) and Teen Reading Ambassadors (TRAP) will meet for the first time in the 2024/25 academic year to go over paperwork, answer questions about the program and engage in a book browse to select our books and authors for the new year.

Parents should consider staying for the first hour to go over expectations and plan for the remainder of the time to exit the center and allow Reading Ambassadors time to meet each other. The U of A campus is an ideal place to stroll and there are several buildings we recommend for tours. Please email us at wow@arizona.edu for personalized recommendations.

For more information about the programs please visit the MSRAP and TRAP pages accordingly.


Ticketed parking is available in the Second St. Garage and metered parking is available on the street/surface level through the Passport Mobile Parking app. Worlds of Words Center is also located just off of the 2nd St. Modern Streetcar stop.

To request disability-related accommodations that would ensure your full participation in this event, please email wow@arizona.edu or call 520.621.9340.

Reading Ambassador author meetings occur every other month throughout the academic year and are open to the public. This free program for area middle and high school students encourages them to promote reading in their own contexts. Additional information on the Reading Ambassadors is available on our website under the About tab.
