Northwest Washington Reading Corps

The mission of the Washington Reading Corps is to improve reading abilities of young students across Washington through research-based tutoring of struggling readers and effective collaborations among schools, families, community members, national service, business and state partners.

The Northwest Washington Reading Corps understands the deeper importance of national service and how it impacts individuals, communities and our country. Since 1994, AmeriCorps programs nationwide have given individuals the tools necessary to address some of our country's most pressing needs. Through national service, people of all ages and backgrounds are afforded the opportunity to learn, grow and give back in a meaningful way.

Additionally, the NWWRC is committed to fostering understanding, communication and respect among all people involved in the organization, including people of different races, religions, ages, genders, political affiliation, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, national origins, sexual preferences or orientations, medical conditions or disabilities, and marital, veteran or family statuses. We believe we should capitalize on the strengths emanating from these differences.
