Change a Child’s Life
Mentor a struggling reader and unlock the pleasure and power of reading. A little of your time makes a big difference.
Time Well Spent
Our volunteer mentors love helping kids crack the code of reading, building fluency, vocabulary and strategies to read more and read better. Over 70% of them return.
What Our Partners Are Saying
Seeing their eyes light up, hearing giggles and the magic of a thank you – no amount of money can replace what sharing that moment with a wee scholar gives you. It is magic.
