America Reads is a literacy based program geared at improving the reading and comprehension skills of local elementary school students. The Indiana Reading Corps is a joint AmeriCorps program of Indiana Campus Compact and the Indiana Department of Education, and is designed to respond to President Clinton's America Reads Challenge.
Members receive literacy and volunteer management training, and are in turn responsible volunteers.
This program is widely replicated and has been cited for excellence several times by President Clinton. America Reads Program, IU East 2325 Chester Blvd.
