ARISE2Read is a 501(c)(3) that relies on donations to fund our work. Our small staff is dedicated to improving the educational outcomes of the students we serve. We accomplish this by recruiting and training volunteers throughout our community. ARISE2Read provides all the materials our volunteers need to serve their students in our partner schools. In addition, ARISE2Read provides 10 brand-new books each year for ALL 2nd graders in our schools to ensure children in low-income communities have access to books in the home.
