Power Partners
Power Partners provides a creative blend of literacy enrichment, mentoring and career education for 900 school children in 1st to 3rd grade.
This program matches socially-conscious corporations, non-profits, and professional organizations with children from Philadelphia public classrooms for weekly one-on-one literacy coaching sessions. These business volunteers are making a difference: low achieving readers involved in an hour of reading daily advance an average of one and 1/2 years in reading level in one school year.
In the 12 years of this program our Corporate Power Partners have provided Philadelphia classrooms with over $400,000 of books. These volunteers have donated 432,000 hours helping kids learn to read and showing them where education can lead them in life.
