United Way of Delaware Gets Delaware Reading

Organization Mission:

At United Way of Delaware, we're answering the call to help our community thrive. We're working to ensure kids can read on grade level by third grade, support career and college success for youth, connect families to vital resources through Delaware 211, and empower individuals with the tools they need to achieve financial stability. It’s about creating lasting change that lifts up everyone, not just offering temporary fixes.

During Do More 24 Delaware, United Way of Delaware is proud to rally our community around Get Delaware Reading Summer, a proven initiative that helps children maintain and strengthen their reading skills during the critical summer months. 

Too many students experience the “summer slide,” losing hard-earned literacy gains when school is out, especially those who already face barriers to academic success. Through GDR Summer, we partner with local schools, community organizations, and trained educators to deliver high-dosage, evidence-based reading tutoring and enrichment programs that keep children engaged and on track. 

Together with our generous supporters and dedicated community partners, we are preventing learning loss, building confident readers, and improving educational outcomes for children across Delaware. Donate to help send Delaware kids to summer reading programs and stop the “summer slide.”
