Read To Succeed is launching a new program called Get Started! This program is designed to serve those learners that are in the program but waiting on a tutor. Volunteers will meet with these waiting learners for an hour or two a week for a few weeks before they are paired with a tutor. During this time learners will work on improving real-life literacy skills like banking, reading maps, filling out forms, reading menus, family literacy, and job skills.  We need your help to make this program a success! We need real-life materials like:

• menus
• applications to doctors and dentists
• job applications
• local maps

These materials can be mailed to PO Box 12161 Murfreesboro TN 37129 or dropped off at First Baptist Church for Read To Succeed. We also need Bookcases, Paper Shredder, Bulletin Board, Colored or white printer paper, Gift cards to any office supply store or WalMart.
