THE CARMEL HILL FUND

The carmel hill fund education program supports independent reading efforts in 100 schools in three cities: new york, new york; denver, colorado; and monroe, lousiana, reaching over 55,000 students during the 2023-24 school year. The education program mission is to promote literacy and foster a love of reading, particularly among at-risk youth in inner cities. To this end, we partner with schools to utilize renaissance learning's accelerated reader software program to help monitor completion and comprehension of student reading progress. Education program staff visit schools and assist principals, teachers, and librarians in the successful implementation of the reading program.
