COVID-19 Resources
The R2L staff and board hopes that you and your loved ones are staying safe and well during this unprecedented public health crisis. The R2L team is currently working remotely. Our nine years of experience and the extraordinary commitment of our partners, donors, and volunteers have equipped R2L to serve students in the midst of these new challenges. R2L continues to provide high-quality literacy resources to our community through Read, Learn, GO!, our upcoming virtual summer camp, and working directly with families to provide resources.
Readers 2 Leaders' leadership will continue to monitor advice and updates from the CDC, World Health Organization, City of Dallas, and DISD to ensure we follow best practices to keep our community safe and healthy. No matter the circumstances, we remain dedicated to helping Dallas students reach grade level in reading so they are prepared to thrive! If you or your family need support during this time, please don't hesitate to contact us at info@readers2leaders.org or 214-905-0095.
