Central Indiana ReadUp Program

ReadUP connects volunteers with local schools, where they read with two students for 30 minutes every week, helping kids get on track - and stay on track - with grade-level literacy. We know that children who read at or above grade-level are more likely to succeed in school and in life.

Read UP: 2020-2021 School Year Update

Thank you for supporting ReadUP! We know many volunteers are eager to get back into the schools and start working with the kids. As you know, school districts are announcing changes to their return to school plans on a daily basis. Because of that, ReadUP will have to look different this year. We are currently working with our school partners to determine ReadUP fall programming. Please be on the lookout for more information coming soon, as we hope to begin recruiting volunteers for the 2020-21 school year in the coming months. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
