The line of success is clear: children who read at grade level are more likely to graduate from high school. And those who graduate from high school are more likely to pursue further education or get a job. Phoenix Family and the Trent Green Family Foundation have made it our top priority to ensure that all children we serve read at grade level before they reach middle school.
HIKE (Help Instill the Key to Education) provides low-income children individualized reading instruction in order to improve their literacy, leading to greater success in school and increased opportunities in life. What makes HIKE different?
Let's be honest; we need you. There's something here for every kind of volunteer. Some folks join us daily, some weekly, some a couple times a year. No matter what your schedule or interests, we will put you to work.
