Support Literacy in Asheville & Buncombe County

​During the 2019-2020 school year, Read to Succeed Asheville/Buncombe volunteer reading tutors served 228 local K-3rd grade students in Asheville City and Buncombe County Schools. During the COVID-19 pandemic, R2S adapted our K-3 reading tutoring program to a virtual format and expanded our scope of work to serve children birth-5 and their families.

Your generosity drives R2S' community-powered literacy programming that engages children, family and community partners. Critical funds allow us to recruit and train more volunteer reading tutors and reach more elementary students to support them in achieving grade-level reading proficiency. Donations also support the distribution of culturally-proficient reading materials and learning supplies to local families.

At the close of each school year, we survey our public school teachers to find out how we can better help the students in our tutoring program. This year every teacher said, "Send us more tutors." Please help us do that.

We welcome all financial gifts. Here are some of the ways your contribution will be used:
  • $250 - $1000: Sponsor a tutor/student team
  • $250: underwrite the specialized training of one volunteer
  • $300: pay for one 2-hour training session
  • $500: help us purchase grade-appropriate, multi-cultural books to give to our students
  • $3000: pay for a 4 week training session and materials for 10 volunteers

A special thank you to all our friends and supporters. We couldn't do it without you.
