About Us > Overview

Mission
We unite families facing physical separation by facilitating the bonding experience of reading aloud together.

Vision
All children will feel the security of caring family relationships and develop a love of reading through the read aloud experience.

Founded in 1989, United Through Reading is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public benefit organization.


"As an educator and reading specialist, I realize that schools cannot fulfill all of children's educational and emotional needs. United Through Reading was founded in 1989 with a preventive goal to re-institutionalize reading aloud with children in homes and communities.

Reading aloud instills the joy of reading and allows for meaningful communication that enhances self-esteem and relationships. United Through Reading has served over 346,000 people through four community outreach programs with student and adult volunteers contributing over 224,000 hours from the corporate, social service, and educational sectors.

I invite you to join us in our mission. Together, we will continue to make a positive difference for children."
