United Way Of Northern Nevada And The Sierra

United readers is a program designed to improve foundational literacy skills through mentoring with a specially trained americorps member. These americorps mentors meet with kindergarten through third-grade students one-on-one and in small groups focusing on phonemic awareness, which is the ability to hear and manipulate sounds. Developed in collaboration with the washoe county school district, united readers officially launched in november 2020. In the 23-24 school year, 96% of students demonstrated at least one level of improvement after participating in the program.

Through our company workplace campaigns donors are given the opportunity to designate their gifts to certified 501(c)3 charities, allowing them the ability to give back to their community in a meaningful way that works for each of them.
