Our vision as a literacy nonprofit is an Oregon where all children can realize their full potential through reading. We provide a meaningful way for the community to support kids and their families through shared reading time and access to books.
What We Do
At SMART Reading, we believe that reading is the gateway to learning and opportunity for Oregon’s kids. We mobilize our statewide community of volunteers to make a direct impact on kids through shared reading sessions and new books to keep. We have many volunteer opportunities that vary in their time commitment and role. These include weekly reading time with students, one-time book cleaning sessions, and much more.
