How you help | When you teach someone to read, you change their life. The ability to read and write gives one access to information, independence, communication, and so much more. Join Indy Reads as a volunteer and help us change lives. |

About us | To understand the importance of what Indy Reads does, you only need to think about what you are doing right now. You are reading. You are taking in information across time and space that is represented only by marks on a page. It is a process so automatic for most of us, that we rarely think about its power. Over 49,000 adults in Marion County, however, do not have that power. They cannot read well enough to complete a job application, understand a newspaper, take in the meaning of road signs, or comprehend written instructions. Our vision is a future in which adults have the literacy, English, and digital skills they need to help build stronger families, workplaces, and communities. |
