Reader to Reader has received a major grant from The Amelia Peabody Foundation in support of the Springfield Mentoring Program. The program connects public school students in Chicopee, Holyoke and Springfield, Massachusetts with college reading mentors.
“We are very grateful for The Amelia Peabody Foundation’s support,” said Reader to Reader founder David Mazor. “The grant enables us to expand the mentoring program to Holyoke, Massachusetts, and we look forward to sparking the students’ imaginations and building their academic skills, as we have in Chicopee and Springfield.”
First launched in 2008, Reader to Reader’s mentoring programs help nonreader and reluctant readers become engaged readers through daily online correspondence with specially trained college reading mentors.
