AR Kids Read
About us
In 2011 the Nehemiah Network, a group of church pastors and business leaders, launched a reading initiative in central Arkansas. Community leaders endorsed this initiative and supported transitioning it to a community-based nonprofit. As a result, AR Kids Read was founded in 2012. AKR programs are designed to meet the needs of at-risk students by focusing on creative, collaborative approaches that bring all the resources of a community together. With the power of volunteers, college students, and numerous program partners, we encourage and equip students to reach their full potential. We help them build valuable literacy skills and gain academic confidence. But, this is about more than an individual student or school, as we work together we foster the strength, stability, and long-term health of our entire community.
