In each newsletter, we will spotlight one of our amazing volunteer reading mentors. Our volunteers are at the heart of the Read Aloud Mentoring Program. Thank you for making a difference in a child's life!

Please meet Katherine and Nahomi from

Leo Politi Elementary School!

Staff Summer Summit

Read to a Child's annual staff summit brought colleagues from all regions together at our Wellesley, MA headquarters for 2 days of collaboration, goal-setting, and inspiration.

The staff's collective work revolved around how we will best achieve our strategic goals, including serving more students, expanding our volunteer pool, and increasing funding from new & existing partners. There was also the opportunity for the staff to have a Zoom meet & greet with the National Board!
