Expanding literacy access in Tulsa

Reading Partners became part of the Tulsa educational landscape in 2013, when we first began placing community volunteers in under-resourced schools to help kids master basic reading skills. Our individualized tutoring model empowers students to succeed in reading and life by engaging community volunteers to provide individualized, personal attention to each student in our program.
