About Us
Project READ is a coalition of public and private organizations working
together to build skilled workers, strong families, and healthy communities.
Through Project READ, over 35 literacy and basic skills providers, 80 schools
and tutoring sites in Montgomery, Greene, and Preble counties, and over 100 businesses
and community partners are committed to building literacy in the Miami Valley.

in Dayton, Ohio. Project READ relies solely on grants and individual gifts for financial support.

The Project READ Helpline individually matches adult learners with free GED,
reading, English language, and family literacy classes and links volunteers with programs
to tutor adults and youth.

and 424 volunteers served as tutors for adults or children in reading
