Strong Readers. Strong Futures.
Why Literacy Is Key to Solving the Reading Crisis?
We Believe Literacy Is
A Human Right.
Reading is the foundation for educational success and opportunities in life, yet 40% of students across the nation can’t read at a basic level. Additionally, 21% of the U.S. adult population is functionally illiterate, and 54% have reading skills below the 6th grade level.
Through our evidence-based, transformative approach, we work to close the literacy gap and introduce men to careers in education to ensure every student has the support they deserve. Since our inception in 2009, we’ve remained committed to investing in literacy to help improve lives in the classroom and beyond.

Our Fellows play a critical role in shaping future learners by helping young students improve their reading skills. Through hands-on classroom experience and personalized mentorship, Fellows also receive extensive professional development to prepare them for a future in education or beyond.
