Read with kids, Have fun, Make a difference! 

At United Way, our vision is a community where every child has the opportunity to succeed in school.

One example is United Way Readers, a program that pairs a volunteer reader with a student for an academic year (with help from United Way, teachers, the school and the school district) to support children struggling to read on grade-level.


How you can help:

You are invited to spend an hour, one day per week reading with a student as part of the United Way Readers program! Historically, 93 percent of participating students increase their literacy skills as a result.

Fall 2024 – Spring 2025
Registration is open now in Hartford, New Britain, East Hartford, Bloomfield, and West Hartford.

Time Commitment:
30-90 minutes, one day per week.
School day or after-school slots, Monday – Friday.
