What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Kindergarten Readiness (est. 2001)
Purpose: To increase the vocabulary level of at-risk children and to ‘create the desire to learn’. This project involves eight weeks of daily one-on-one volunteer interaction with selected pre-k students.
Adult Literacy
To help under-educated adults become more self-sufficient primarily through improving reading and math skills. While it is challenging to test non-readers, they do show measurable growth in the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) Levels Completions. Students are often eager to share their personal testimonials about their increased ability to understand signs and doctor instructions.
Ready 4K
Ready4K is a research-based text messaging program for families with kids ages 0 to 10. Each week, you can receive texts with fun facts and tips on ways to help your child learn and grow. You’ll also receive information on community resources to support you and your family. Ready4K tips build on your daily routines, like getting dressed, bath time, or preparing a meal. You will always get messages that match your child’s age. Watch this video to learn more detailed information about the Trauma-Informed program https://vimeo.com/510952688.
Dictionary Project
The Rotary Club of Columbus partners with us to provide every third grade student in the Muscogee County School District with a dictionary and customized pen (with their expected graduation year). The dictionary is accompanied by a message that focuses on graduating on time, getting a job, and getting the job they will love – because they can read.
