In 2009, the church community asked city leaders what they could do to make a lasting impact in our city. The answer was simple: to support children’s literacy and decrease school dropout rates. Hence, Education Connection was created, a program of Christ Together Greater Austin “CTGA” (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization). Our volunteers serve the community by sitting with elementary children each week to read one-on-one. With the program growing rapidly and with more children in need of extra support, there’s a place for YOU to make a difference in a child’s education and life.
Join us as we combat childhood illiteracy, one of the largest problems in the Greater Austin area, by equipping an army of volunteers to read to students one-on-one, while supporting educators as they help children to learn and grow.
Our Mission is simple, straightforward, and achievable
...every child reading by the end of 3rd grade.
