Why City Year loves Reading Partners

Reading Partners is changing the education landscape as a leader in working to solve the country’s literacy crisis by leveraging community volunteers and AmeriCorps members in systemically under-resourced schools. Its people are its heartbeat and its greatest resource, and Reading Partners AmeriCorps members are instrumental to its success as an organization. For a full service term, AmeriCorps members serve within schools and the community throughout the country to help children master the reading fundamentals they need to unlock their potential as happy, confident and successful readers in school and in life.

This partnership reflects the shared visions and values of both organizations and their belief that young people can keep students on track to graduate from high school and pursue postsecondary education. The City Year experience is a strong indicator of future success as a Reading Partners AmeriCorps member, and serving with City Year strengthens an applicant’s chances of being selected as a Reading Partners AmeriCorps member.
