Project Read

All Project Read offices are closed today for Memorial Day. We thank all those who have served this country and remember those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. “It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we should thank God such men lived.” — George S. Patton

A mother’s support can shape a child’s future long before they ever step into a classroom. From reading bedtime stories to encouraging learning at home, mothers play a powerful role in building literacy, confidence, and opportunity. Happy Mother’s Day to the women helping write brighter futures every day.

Project Read students are adult learners right here in Utah—each with their own story, goals, and reasons for starting.

Our students:
✔ Are at least 16 years old
✔ Speak English competently
✔ Test at or below a high school level in reading, language, or math

We serve minority adults, low-income adults, and at-risk individuals, including people with learning disabilities. Many of our students are also navigating housing instability or relying on public assistance to meet basic needs.

What they share is not a label—but determination. They’re showing up to learn, grow, and build new opportunities for themselves and their families.

At Project Read, we meet each learner where they are through one-on-one tutoring and small group instruction in reading, writing, math, and digital skills.

Our students have so much to say when it comes to thanking our volunteers. We are so grateful for you!
