Read Ahead’s reading-based mentoring develops in students the social-emotional skills essential for academic and life-long success.
We serve approximately 1,000 elementary school students at 15 partner schools each year.
Read Ahead is a reading-based mentoring program for elementary school students. Volunteers from our corporate and community partners are matched with a student for the school year to read and spend time together during the students’ lunch hour each week.
Read Ahead has 1,400 volunteer mentors who make our program possible each year.
