About the Initiative

Worcester Education Collaborative, along with our local and state partners, is proud to announce Raising Readers Together, a collaborative community-wide effort to increase literacy achievement among children from birth and build a culture of literacy across the city of Worcester.

The initiative's strategy hinges on leadership and active participation from all sectors of Worcester's education ecosystem. It brings together civic leaders, community organizations, higher education institutions, businesses, funders, families, and educators.

By advancing several interrelated objectives simultaneously and forming broadly inclusive and collaborative teams, Raising Readers Together is a new campaign to ensure a holistic approach to literacy improvement.
