Leading Literacy in

Your Community

Our Chapter Leader program empowers our members to lead with change by starting a Read to Respond chapter in their school or community.

 

Through monthly readings and volunteer events, they continue our mission of literacy in their local region. We offer leadership training, one-on-one support, and opportunities to our leaders, developing their voice and investing in their future.

"I want to establish a Read to Respond chapter because students deserve a space that builds sharp thinking, strong expression, and real leadership. My leadership experience in IIT Bombay E-Cell showed me how the right environment turns potential into action and I want to bring that same energy and standard of growth to this chapter."
