The READ Center changes lives through adult literacy by providing classroom instruction, one-to-one tutoring, and educational resources to adults who need and want to improve reading, writing, basic math, and digital skills. When adults with low-level literacy develop basic reading, communication, math, and digital skills, they can better fulfill their roles as citizens, workers, and family members.

Our Stories
“[The READ Center] has helped me pronounce words and to seek out other words that I might not have tried to use. I thank the tutors for their patience and willingness to help with a glad heart. It means a lot to me, being a student.”
Barbara F.
“I volunteer because reading has been a blessing in my life, and I enjoy sharing my passion with others who hope to feel the same comfort and joy with books. Volunteers feel that we receive more than we give.”

“I am glad that I came to The READ Center because it has changed my life completely and it has been a joy to learn and I am going to continue to learn as much as I can. It’s been kind of hard working a full-time job and coming to The READ Center, but I’m not going to quit!”
