Reading and Education for Adult Development

The READ Center’s mission is to help adults with low-level literacy develop basic reading, communication, math and digital skills so they can fulfill their roles as citizens, workers, and family members. This mission is accomplished by providing classroom instruction, one-to-one tutoring, and educational resources to support students.

OUR PROGRAMS

Reach One. Teach One.

You’ll join a welcoming community of volunteers and teachers willing to share their knowledge and passion for making a difference.
