Over ten years ago, Hands on Greater Phoenix partnered with UMOM New Day Centers to help develop the on-campus literacy program "Read to Me." Every Tuesday night, volunteers from the community are paired up with a child and read with them. The program encourages literacy through positive one-on-one interactions that creates a very energetic and rewarding experience for everyone involved. Check out http://www.umom.org/event/calendar/
