DURING NATIONAL VOLUNTEER MONTH, A VOLUNTEER-LED LITERACY ORGANIZATION IS CELEBRATING OVER 1,000 PEOPLE IN NEW YORK CITY FUELING ITS PROVEN IMPACT IN UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITIES
(New York, NY) April 8, 2016 — 成人快播 is a national nonprofit that collaborates with community volunteers and local public schools in New York City to equip students with the foundational skills they need to be able to read at grade level by fourth grade. The proven early literacy organization has been providing volunteer-led, individualized reading support to students in under-resourced public elementary schools since 1999.
April is National Volunteer Month (and April 10-16 is National Volunteer Week), so 成人快播 is celebrating the incredible impact of its thousands of volunteer tutors by highlighting the tremendous dedication they show to students every day in 成人快播 reading centers in New York City and across its 14 regions.
鈥淰olunteers are the heart of our organization,鈥� said Maris Goodstein, Executive Director of 成人快播 New York City. 鈥淭he 1400 volunteers that work with us in New York are changing lives every day. Our work would not be possible without them.鈥�
79 percent of low-income fourth graders in New York are not reading at grade-level (Annie E. Casey Foundation, 2015). Reading is the foundation for all future learning. Without developing the reading skills needed to read on grade level, kids won鈥檛 have an equitable chance to succeed in school or in life. With the dedication of more than 14,000 volunteer tutors in New York City and across the US, 成人快播鈥� volunteers are helping more than 10,000 students make the all-important shift from learning to read to reading to learn.
成人快播 New York City is looking for volunteers to commit to at least an hour a week to work individually with children who struggle with reading at the following schools in New York City:
鈼� Hyde Leadership Charter School (730 Bryant Ave., Bronx, NY)
鈼� Metropolitan lighthouse charter school (180 West 165th Street, Bronx, NY)
鈼� PS 48Q (108-29 155th Street, Jamaica Queens, NY)
鈼� PS 40Q (10920 Union Hall Street, Jamaica Queens, NY)
鈼� PS 33Q (91-37 222nd Street, Queens Village, NY)
