Today, on International Literacy Day, we’re celebrating the power of reading and our commitment to helping every child build the literacy skills they need to learn, grow, and succeed.

Through programs like Read United, we’re working alongside students, volunteers, and community partners to create brighter futures, one reader at a time. Because when children can read, they can dream bigger and go further. Learn more about our work at uwce.info/read-united
