Make a Financial Gift - Third Grade Reading
Children who are not reading at grade level by third grade are four times more likely to drop out of school
At the Y, we are determined to change the outcome for children most at risk of falling behind. From targeted intervention programs like Y Readers to infusing literacy curriculum into traditional Y programs, we are powering learning opportunities that help position all children for academic success.
When you give to the Y, your gift has the potential to provide students in grades K-3 who are reading below grade level with the opportunity to improve reading comprehension and participate in Y Readers. Learn more >>

Teaching children how to be safe around water is not a luxury, it is a necessity. Three children die each day from drowning. What's harder to believe is that 88% of youth drowning incidents occur under adult supervision.
Your gift helps us inspire kids to reach their greatest potential academically, socially, emotionally and physically through high impact programs that change lives.
