About

Meet Our Staff

Ready Readers relies solely on contributions from individuals, corporate and community partners.  We operate with a small, but dedicated staff to: develop initiatives in our classrooms and community, train, coordinate and mentor our volunteers, design programming for early childhood educators, organize fundraising events, and facilitate the giving and receiving of books.
