About us
Reading Partners empowers community volunteers to provide one-on-one reading instruction to elementary school students reading below grade level to help them succeed in reading and in life. We are a national education nonprofit working with Title I elementary schools to support students who are reading six months to two-and-a-half years below grade level. Reading Partners recruits and trains more than 15,000 community volunteers, annually, to deliver a highly effective, research-validated curriculum. GOING TO SCALE • Reading Partners received a highly competitive growth investment from the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation and the Social Innovation Fund. Reading Partners is also managing a second Social Innovation Fund sub-grant supported by Mile High United Way in Colorado. • This investment helped Reading Partners grow from a few schools in California to over 160 schools across eight states and the District of Columbia. Throughout this growth, our student outcomes have remained consistently strong. NATIONAL SERVICE Reading Partners is a proud partner with the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). Our reading centers and outreach efforts are powered by 220 dedicated AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers, now outnumbering our full time staff. OUR IMPACT Reading Partners is dedicated to ensuring that each student gains the critical reading skills they need to prepare them for academic, social, and civic success. That’s why monitoring and evaluation are core to the Reading Partners model.

We're so grateful to CenterPoint Energy for partnering with Reading Partners Minnesota and getting over a thousand books to young readers! 📚 #TogetherWeAreBetter 🧡 💙
As #NationalReadingMonth wraps up, our team in Minnesota had a great time yesterday working with Reading Partners Minnesota to distribute nearly 1,200 books to elementary students in Brooklyn Center, Minn. Each student received two free books to build their personal home libraries that reflect their interests and passions. The CenterPoint Energy Foundation has proudly supported Reading Partners since 2021, providing funding for literacy tutoring, mentorship and free books to help every student reach their full potential. We’re excited to power a passion for reading in our next generation! #joyofreading #readinginspires!

I don't know about you, but everything feels pretty chaotic and uncertain right now. When I feel that way, I try to find one action I can take that could maybe make my community even slightly better. For me, that was volunteering with Reading Partners to help a kiddo improve their literacy skills. I had my first tutoring session today with my student, the most precious second grader at McClure Elementary, and my goodness did our time together lift my spirits. If you're feeling overwhelmed or are having a hard time finding those slivers of light right now, find one small thing you can do to make your #community a better place, and I can promise you it will bring so much light into your life.
