The READ Center was founded in 1982 and its mission is to help low level reading adults develop basic reading and communication skills through one-on-one tutoring so they can fulfill their goals and their roles as citizens, workers, and family members. READ students are adults that lack basic reading and writing skills and come to The READ Center with specific goals, such as being able to read to their children, fill out a job application, or simply read a menu or medicine label.
