Help thousands of children and adults become strong readers;
Help high school students become the first in their families to attend college;
Improve the quality of sports coaching in parks and community centers across the U.S.;
Help young women around the world become effective community activists;
Improve the quality of medical research in Oregon; and to
Bolster economic development efforts in Southern California.
How We Got Here
Our founder launched America Learns after serving as a reading tutor during college and coming to believe that there had to be a better way to provide volunteers with the ongoing training and support they need while making data collection, progress reporting, and grant writing frustration-free.
Since we launched in 2003, we've grown to serve organizations in more than 30 U.S. states and in more than 20 countries.
