We are headed #BacktoSchoolwithAmeriCorps. Across the country, over 55,000 AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors are returning to the classroom to serve as tutors and mentors, helping students improve their literacy and numeracy skills, improve graduation rates, and boost academic achievement through encouraging family involvement and assisting teachers. But at the same time -- Congress is debating a budget bill that would cut funding and pull AmeriCorps out of our schools. We’ve told our lawmakers that schools cannot afford to lose this source of people power and asked them to reject these cuts. Join us and send an email to Congress asking them to invest in AmeriCorps: bit.ly/CCFY25 #Stand4Service #AmeriCorps30 #AmeriCorpsinSchools

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.
