A signature program of the Foundation, Read2Succeed engages hundreds of volunteers each year to provide reading assistance and mentoring to second graders. In addition to managing the recruitment, training and placement of these volunteers, the Foundation also provides needed resources in the classroom to support and advance this important program.

Research shows second grade is a critical developmental year – when reading becomes fundamental to advanced concepts and skills. It’s also a significant social and emotional period in a child’s life, when positive encouragement and confidence-building are essential.

Read2Succeed expands on both aspects, with a focus on building up our children.

All it takes is 30-45 minutes per week to change a child’s life for a lifetime. Interested in volunteering? Get started today!
