Helping a kid read lifts us all.
And that includes you.

What gives our lives meaning? It’s a question asked and answered,
again and again, as we move through our lives. We create meaning
out of purpose, out of service to others, and even out of our
day-to-day circumstances. Indeed, there are moments to create
and find meaning all around us.

Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

You know how difficult it can be to create meaningful experiences
within our overscheduled and overworked days. We can unintentionally
seal ourselves off from others, from our communities, and from the opportunities to enrich our deeper selves. The good news is we can
all step through the seal. The way out: up.
 
 

"ReadUP volunteers have made a decision that goes beyond giving their time. In addition to making a difference in someone’s life, volunteers understand that the time they give is transformed into profound personal satisfaction. I always hear from volunteers how much more they 'get than they give.' To have a positive impact on a child’s life – that’s a powerful experience. I invite you to see for yourself by joining the growing community of ReadUP volunteers." Ellen K. Annala President and CEO United Way of Central Indiana

Step up. And let good work work for you too.

ReadUP is a big idea within a small commitment. The big idea is
helping kids as they stand at an academic crossroads. And it’s made
bigger by the hundreds of ReadUP tutors doing the same thing. Taken
together, it’s all great for the city and that feels good to be part of. But the
most immediate rewards of being a ReadUP tutor are also the most
personal – sitting side by side with a kid who needs your help with one
of life’s most essential skills: reading.
