The Read United Initiative works to close the early childhood literacy gap within low-income households by providing emerging and early readers with quality, developmentally appropriate books for the home, and a first-hand volunteer reading experience in the classroom.
On Read United Day, our volunteers in nearly 60 local schools will read to nearly 1,000 classes and deliver more than 19,000 books to children, advancing early childhood literacy in the Coastal Empire. The cost of sponsorship is approximately $5.00 per child, and while less traditional and exclusive than event-oriented sponsorships, there is no better way to change lives for generations to come. Read United is our only sponsorship opportunity for organizations that can also provide volunteer power.
