Career Corner: Reading Partners

Reading Partners is a national nonprofit that mobilizes communities to provide students with the proven, individualized reading support they need to read at grade level by fourth grade.

We know that reading is the foundation for all future learning. The ability to read transforms lives and empowers children and communities to reach their full potential. Research shows that students who read at grade level by fourth grade have a greater opportunity to succeed in school and beyond.

That’s why we partner with under-resourced schools and engage volunteer reading partners to work one-on-one with students who struggle with reading. Our volunteers provide hour-long tutoring sessions to students— following a structured, evidence-based curriculum developed with an expert team of curriculum advisors.

Come to the Career Corner to have your career questions answered!

We will have an employer representative available to answer your Career questions, whether they are about the company or a general employer question.  This is a great opportunity to speak with an employer representative in a more relaxed atmosphere that is conducive to networking.

Stop by when you can, someone will be available between 10am and 2pm.
