Let's Read is a multi-week program designed to provide the youth of Pueblo del Rio with the tools to help them achieve their dreams. Working individually and as a group, volunteers work with youth to strengthen their reading and comprehension skills and to show them that reading can be fun. If your enthusiasm for kids is as great as your love of learning, then this program is for you.
Pueblo Del Rio is a public housing development in South Los Angeles with a community of over 700 residents. Let's Read is an L.A. Works-sponsored program designed to create long-term opportunities for volunteers and youth to connect and learn from each other.
