We connect trusted, caring adult volunteers (called Reading Mentors) with students in first through third grade, providing students with 30 minutes of one-to-one reading and mentoring support each week.
Businesses partner with us for one-day team volunteer opportunities where their employees are paired to read with one-on-one with students.
During one-day volunteer events, each adult reads Someone Builds the Dream with a student and discusses the construction and STEM careers featured in the story.
