About Us

Our Mission

Vision - Every child learns to read so that they can read to learn.

 

Mission - Support public schools in their efforts to get students reading on grade level by the end of third grade.

 

Focus – The program is focused on:

  • helping disadvantaged kindergarten through third grade children in public schools learn how to read.
    • providing children with a positive environment so that they understand their self-worth and understand the value of education.
    • working with teachers to achieve our mission.

    Our Board

    NC VIPS has no paid staff. Our volunteer board is made up of school volunteers who find joy in helping children learn to read and in encouraging others to join in.
