Community Partners

READ RVA is grateful for the support of all our generous community partners—caring individuals, businesses and foundations who recognize the critical importance of helping adults improve their literacy. Our donors are businesspeople who see the value in helping their employees develop their skills; educators who believe that everyone deserves a chance to succeed; and parents who want their adult neighbors to have the same opportunities afforded to their own children. Consider joining them with a gift to READ RVA.

“I want to be loved and respected by people. It will mean so much to me. What does it take to get this in the world today? Reading I join reading class in the fall of September for Tuesday and Thursday. Want to be a good reader. And I been coming for four years. I want to go to college some day.”
