Kimberly Griffin-Haynes,聽volunteer reading partner in Washington, DC

I live in North East Washington, DC聽and I鈥檓 a professor at the University of Maryland, and my area of study focuses on access and equity issues in higher education. When I moved back to the DC area I really wanted to be involved in service, and I wanted to do something that was related to what I do but not exactly what I do. Whenever I tutor children, I鈥檓 always reminded of how important it is for students to feel really comfortable for reading; it鈥檚 the building block for everything that comes after that.

Whether a kid gets into college isn鈥檛 only decided senior year of high school, it鈥檚 also decided in fifth grade.

So the opportunity to talk to kids about where I went to college, and about college campuses, and making sure that they feel really confident in their skills is important to me.
