A Year of Service Can Make a Lifetime of Difference
Become a Reading Assist Fellow and spend a school year working with struggling readers in the highest needs schools.
With your help, one more child can embark on a path to success in reading.
The Fellowship
Reading Assist offers the most intensive literacy training of any AmeriCorps program in the country, and it can be accepted for graduate-level credit. Fellows receive a living allowance, an education award to use toward tuition or education expenses, student loan deferment, and more. Learn more >
Why Serve
By the end of third grade, 74 percent of struggling readers won’t ever catch up, and students with a language-based learning disability are more than twice as likely to drop out of high school. Be the difference-maker for a child.
Fellow Reflections
Our fellows experiences create life-changing moments for themselves and their students and memories that last a lifetime. Hear from former fellows about their year of service.
Who Can Make an Impact as a Reading Assist Fellow?
“My year of service is exactly what I needed after I graduated college, even if I did not initially intend on this path. My year of service made me a better person.”
– Bridgette, Reading Assist alum
