Reading Partners empowers volunteers like you to become leaders in the community by helping struggling readers succeed. Each week, you will meet one-on-one with your student to help him or her develop strong literacy skills and discover a passion for reading. We’ll provide a structured curriculum, in-person training, and ongoing support for volunteers like you to help students thrive.
Children who read on grade-level by the end of third grade are more successful in school, work, and in life.Over the past decade, Reading Partners has helped more than 30,000 students become strong, confident readers with the support of volunteers like you. By sharing their passion and knowledge, volunteers have led students to (on average) triple their rate of learning for every month enrolled in Reading Partners.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to help children become lifelong readers by empowering communities to provide individualized instruction with measurable results.
Description
Reading Partners is a national education nonprofit that partners with students, their families, schools, and communities to provide students with individualized literacy support and the foundational skills they need to read at grade level by fourth grade. We do this by training community volunteers to deliver one-on-one, literacy lessons, using our structured and easy to follow, evidence-based curriculum. Volunteer tutoring happens in-person via our Reading Partners Traditional program and virtually via our Reading Partners Connects program. Programming varies by region. We currently serve twelve regions, nationwide: Los Angeles, Silicon Valley, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Denver, North Texas, Tulsa, Twin Cities, South Carolina, Washington DC, Baltimore, and New York.
