SMART partners with hundreds of schools and PreK providers across Oregon to deliver our proven reading support program. We actively collaborate with principals and teachers to identify where SMART can align with and support the important work that is happening in the classroom. With more than two decades of experience refining and improving the process, SMART provides an efficient, high-quality and well-structured volunteer program that delivers results and requires minimal resources from school staff. Our volunteer Site Coordinators provide on-site management and coordination of community volunteers to read one-on-one with students.

Because SMART is funded nearly 100 percent by private sources, we are able to provide this reading support and mentorship service to schools at no cost to the school or district.

School Partnership

A truly successful SMART program happens when there is strong, clear communication between the principal, participating teachers and SMART Site Coordinator with a high level of engagement at all levels.
