Readers 2 Leaders

Readers 2 Leaders is a Dallas-based nonprofit that provides literacy tutoring in classrooms, after school and at our Booktown Learning Center. Because no single organization can stem the literacy crisis in our community alone, we also provide coaching, consulting, and education opportunities to others leading children to literacy. Through tutoring and coaching, we aim to give all Dallas students equitable opportunities to thrive as readers and leaders.

Reading Buddies (volunteers) are a key part of our programs and provide the essential one-on-one reading assistance to a student once a week. As a Reading Buddy, you will help a child develop their comprehension reading skills through an engaging and interactive read aloud. Above all, you will be a positive role model that encourages them and makes reading fun!
