Our Kids Read Association

The our kids read "remote reading buddies" program connects white and blue-collar professionals, retirees, and high school students looking to satisfy their community service hours with young people in our programs who are behind in their reading skills. We recruit from large and small companies, looking for individuals who can spare at least 30 minutes per week to read to a child (minimum 8-week commitment). We aim to expand the reading buddies program exponentially over the next few years: 250 reading buddies in 2024, and 1,000 reading buddies in 2025.
