Provide an Education to A Waiting Child

As school, and now homeschool, challenges dominate the news, you can change the trajectory for hard-working students who haven't given up ... yet.

Families turn to RITES when all other interventions have failed. But these financial aid recipients are waiting up to a year to get services. That's another grade gone by. Without reading, all other subjects are suffering as well, until like one adult financial aid recipient, they either drop out or shockingly are graduated illiterates.

You read it right! Students have been graduated from high school but are in fact illiterate, and unemployable by our society's standards, which often leads to incarceration.

In 2020, one year of life-changing RITES tutoring costs $3,000, which is less than the DAILY cost of Rhode Island's inmate population. And with the COVID-19 crisis, our students are at risk of losing the critical support they need to realize their potential to succeed.

Any amount will help these students access the RITES methodology for literacy and lifelong success, proven by thousands of RITES students over the past 20+ years.

Without your donation, these hardworking students won’t be able to experience what you and I take for granted -- a job, college — being a productive member of the community.
