    About Us

    Building Brighter Futures for Philadelphia's Young Readers

    Joyful Readers brings full-time AmeriCorps tutors directly into Philadelphia public schools to provide daily, intensive reading tutoring to K-3 students. Tutors serve in small teams in elementary schools for a full school year. They work with the same 20 students each and every day in both 1-on-1 and small group formats. Using research-based, high-quality curriculum endorsed by teachers and experts alike, students gain the literacy skills critical for success in school, at work, and in their daily lives.
