Community Engagement VISTA Year 2
 
 
 
AB Christian Learning Center (ABCLC) and Read Fort Worth is a collective impact effort mobilizing educators, funders, government, businesses, parents, and community organizations to see that all third-graders read at a college-ready pace by 2025 in support of Fort Worth Independent School District’s 100 by 25 Initiative. The ability to read on level by third grade is critical to lifelong learning. Third grade is the time when schooling transitions from learning to read to reading to learn. Children not reading on the level in third grade are four times more likely to not graduate high school. The VISTA Member will work directly with the project director and will develop training materials, resource materials, and surveys that are geared toward helping parents become actively engaged in their children’s education.
