Serve as a Literacy Partner or Mentor

In 2009, the church community asked city leaders what it could do to make a lasting impact in Central Texas. The answer was simple: help fight illiteracy and school dropout rates.

Today, Education Connection partners with schools across Central Texas to connect caring volunteers with elementary students for weekly one-on-one reading sessions. Literacy Partners spend just 30 minutes each week reading with students, helping build literacy skills, confidence, and a love of reading.

With thousands of students benefiting from the support of community volunteers, there is still a great need for caring adults willing to invest their time and encouragement in a child. Consider serving as a Literacy Partner at a school near you and help empower the next generation of readers.
