Expanding literacy access in Colorado
Reading Partners has been a part of the Colorado educational landscape since 2012, when Mile High United Way leveraged a federal Social Innovation Fund grant to help ensure more Colorado children could read proficiently by third grade. Since then, we have paired thousands of community volunteers with kids to help them master basic reading skills and narrow their opportunity gap.

“Reading Partners is not just a reading program to boost my level – it’s kind of like my family… Reading Partners has made everybody in my school happy. Without Reading Partners I wouldn’t be in fifth grade.”
