The value of volunteers: 20 years of impact with Reading Partners
How It Works
Simple Idea. Extraordinary Results.
With our school partners, identify students who are six months or more behind grade level in reading.
Trained volunteer reading partners deliver individualized one-on-one tutoring twice a week for 45 minutes, following a structured curriculum.
Students become proud, confident learners ready for success.
