While the world around us has shifted, Read Alliance continues to deliver on its dual mission to improve literacy of young children while empowering teens as their individual reading tutors in NYC’s  under-resourced neighborhoods. Even with schools closed and no summer school for K, 1st and 2nd graders, READ provides virtual reading assistance for children by employing teens as their individual reading tutors. Elementary school students benefit from critical reading intervention, and teen leaders are meaningfully employed as tutors, mentors, and role models. The READ gala raises critical funds to ensure our important work can continue uninterrupted. Please join us in support of Read Alliance!
