Lead to Read KC connects trusted, caring adult volunteers (called Reading Mentors) with first through third grade students attending high-need schools. Once a week, for 30 minutes over the lunch hour, Reading Mentors and students bond over books.
Our mission is to support the social, emotional and reading skills that are foundational for student success by mobilizing community volunteers to read with students attending high-need elementary schools. Learn more at leadtoreadkc.org.
