Jess Rave - Volunteer Opportunities with Reading Partners

Readingpartners.org

 

Reading Partners is a national nonprofit that mobilizes communities to provide students with the proven, individualized reading support they need to read at grade level by fourth grade.

We know that reading is the foundation for all future learning. The ability to read transforms lives and empowers children and communities to reach their full potential. Research shows that students who read at grade level by fourth grade have a greater opportunity to succeed in school and beyond.

That’s why we partner with under-resourced schools and engage volunteer reading partners to work one-on-one with students who struggle with reading. Our volunteers provide hour-long tutoring sessions to students— following a structured, evidence-based curriculum developed with an expert team of curriculum advisors.

Our program model works and is backed by evidence-based research which proves that our students make significant gains in reading.

 

Dana Rave - Most commonly asked question during Fashion Week is "What where you wearing?"  It is also what is asked after someone has been raped. One context is meant to shame, one is meant to celebrate agency and fashion. A group of people have been fighting for the United Nations to recognize rape in peace time. So they walked in New York Fashion Week's first Survivor Fashion Show, where rape survivors walked the runway in the outfit they were raped in to reclaim and rebuke the stigma around "What were you wearing?"  They invited diplomats from around the world and they came. Almost exactly a year later, the United Nations Survivor Rights Resolution was passed.

The resolution, co-sponsored by 84 countries and led by Sierra Leone, was passed Friday. The text within the measure adopted by the General Assembly urges all nations to:

• Recognize rape in peacetime (within the framework of national and international law)
• Take effective measures in providing victims and survivors access to justice
• Provide survivors access to reparations and assistance
• Condemn all forms of sexual and gender-based violence
