Who We Are
Starting in Duval County’s most under-resourced communities, the multi-faceted model READ USA created is resolving the nation’s literacy crisis and preparing teenagers to successfully enter the workforce, no matter the career path they choose.
Our Mission: Transforming America’s future by ensuring every child and teen reads on grade level and is prepared to succeed in the workforce and beyond.
Our Vision: A nation where every child and teen is joyfully literate — curious, confident, and equipped to think freely, speak boldly, and build a more vibrant future for all.
What We Do
Through our Literacy Tutoring and Workforce Development programming, READ USA is transforming teens and elementary students into proficient, passionate readers and lifelong learners through a high achievement outcomes model.
From research-backed evidence and best practices, READ USA has formulated programming that is transformational not only for one child, teenager, or teacher, but for a community and education system as a whole.
READ USA’s research-backed Literacy Tutoring intervention trains and employs teenagers mostly from under-resourced communities to provide daily, intensive, one-to-one tutoring to elementary students from those same communities. As verified by evaluators from The Ohio State University, this unique intervention produces an average of one year’s growth in reading proficiency in as few as 12 weeks for both elementary students and teens. This bi-directional learning was intentional to elevate both populations’ literacy skills and simultaneously provide valuable Workforce Development skills to tutors.
