ORGANIZATION: READ TO SUCCEED ASHEVILLE/BUNCOMBE

Image_202002100755

Read 2 Succeed (R2S) is on a mission to help close the race-based opportunity gap through community-powered literacy programming that engages children, families, and community partners.

Due to Hurricae Helene, students missed more than a month of school. Now, more than ever, they deserve the absolute best our community can give them to support their education!

We are looking for dedicated volunteer reading tutors who are available to build a lasting relationship with a student for the entire school year, meeting with them twice a week either during or after school. Our volunteers believe in all students' innate ability to learn and grow as a reader and understand the role of community-powered literacy in Asheville and Buncombe County.

All new volunteer reading tutors are required to complete a minimum of six hours of training (two hours a day spread across three days) of training. We will workshop best practices for teaching phonics and phonemic awareness, and learn how to use the reading curricula and R2S lesson plan.

New training dates for volunteer tutors are right around the corner, and now is the time to sign up!

WHAT: R2S Volunteer Tutor Training

DATES: Wednesdays, Jan 15th, 22nd, and 29th, 2025

Mission Statement

We are on a mission to help close the race-based opportunity gap through community-powered literacy programming that engages children, families, and community partners.

Description

We believe in working as a community to build an equitable world where all children are strong, confident readers who succeed in school and in life. Founded by Isaac Coleman and a group of community activists, R2S has served more than 650 elementary students over the past ten years. With closing the opportunity gap in mind, our goal is to support students in learning to read at grade level. We serve children and their families in Asheville and Buncombe County, through community PreK and elementary after-school programs as well as in partnership with Asheville City Schools and Buncombe County Schools systems.
