Reading Partners is a literacy nonprofit organization that engages community members to empower elementary school students through one-on-one tutoring. With just one hour/week, volunteers can teach a child the literacy skills he or she needs to be a confident and lifelong reader. Last year, 91% of students in Baltimore's Reading Partners program accelerated their rate of learning. Join the literacy movement and help a child gain the skills he or she needs to succeed. Please contact Geraldine Fiesta at (410) 585-7600 or at [email protected] to get started today!"
