@QuintonLucasKC THANK YOU, Mayor Quinton Lucas, for helping Lead to Read KC raise awareness of the critical need for volunteer Reading Mentors! We encourage anyone interested in becoming a Reading Mentor to visit https://t.co/u6dEXVlfsB to learn more about in-person and virtual volunteering.

@stevekraske @KCURUpToDate @QuintonLucasKC The link between illiteracy and crime prevention is clear. 85% of teens in the juvenile justice system are functionally illiterate. Improving children's literacy skills is the long-term solution to reducing crime. Be part of the solution. Become a Lead to Read KC Reading Mentor.
