Close the gap between talent and opportunity.
READS Foundation exists to expand education and career pathways for underserved, rural, immigrant, and underrepresented communities — across the U.S. and around the world.
Empower every learner to reach their full potential.
READS Foundation provides digital literacy training, technical skill-building, mentorship, and career readiness support to learners who have been historically underserved by traditional education systems and workforce development programs.
A world where background never limits potential.
We envision a future where a person's zip code, immigration status, or economic background does not determine whether they can access career-changing education, mentorship, and professional opportunities.
“Access to education and careers should not depend on where you're from.”
— READS Foundation
