As the region’s only Black-led literacy organization, Read 2 Succeed Asheville/Buncombe (R2S) is on a mission to help close the race-based opportunity gap through community-powered literacy programming that engages children, families, and community partners. Our trained volunteer tutors work one-on-one and in small groups with K-5 students in Asheville City and Buncombe County schools, and our certified instructors lead summer and after-school literacy support in Asheville Housing Authority communities. We also train early childhood and elementary educators, after-school staff, and summer camp staff; send Guest Readers into preschool classrooms; and bring free books, author visits, and family reading events to more than 5,000 families each year.
