Increasing literacy among second graders.
Building confidence.
Nurturing achievement.

Read2Succeed engages volunteers to provide one-on-one reading assistance and mentoring to second grade students reading below grade level.  Volunteers are trained in reading skills and comprehension, as well as mentoring methodology and practices.  Throughout the academic year, each volunteer works one-on-one with a student on reading achievement and social and personal development.

The community volunteer approach is designed to reinforce and enhance teacher-classroom instruction.  The combined efforts of schools, families and communities provide a positive and encouraging learning environment for students who are struggling with reading.  In just three years, the Read2Succeed program grew from five pilot sites to nearly 450 volunteers and 43 schools.
