Literacy unlocks brighter futures for children, families, and communities. Thats why Readers 2 Leaders mission is to equip all students for success through the power of reading. With evidence-based tutoring methodologies at the heart of all we do, Readers 2 Leaders prepares children, caregivers, and educators with the tools to read and share reading with others. We reach children with crucial literacy intervention and enrichment at schools, in out-of-school time (OST), at partner nonprofits, and at home, and we prioritize reaching children of color and those who are economically disadvantaged to help close systemic resource gaps that affect these students most.

We reach students through strategic partnerships with Dallas Independent School District, independent schools, and partner nonprofits, as well as through programs at our facility. Readers 2 Leaders offers a variety of programs. R2L Tutoring provides research-based, high-dosage tutoring services to children in kindergarten through 5th grade during In-School, After-School and Summer Camp programs. R2L Coaching equips adults to impact the long-term literacy outcomes of their students through ongoing training and accompaniment, extending our impact to hundreds of additional students per year. R2L Tutoring and Coaching served 1540 students and 440 adults in the 2023-2024 school year and summer. Through Coaching, we impact hundreds of additional adults and students as our program participants take their new knowledge and tools into their communities. R2L Coaching programs include Coaching for teachers, Family Reading Cohorts, as well as Reading Enrichment and Training workshops. Readers 2 Leaders teaches the mechanics of reading, rooted in phonics, that helps students gain fluency and comprehension so they can access grade-level reading material. Every child tutored by an R2L instructor or at a certified partner site is assessed before, during, and at the conclusion of the program. At R2L, we use Renaissance Star assessments which provide validated measures of student progress and evaluate proficiency in core literacy skills. These assessments allow R2L to set goals for students and track their progress toward becoming strong, independent readers. In addition, R2L has been able to access Dallas ISD Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) data to see the growth of the specific students in our programs as well as the control data of students not receiving additional services. According to MAP data, 91% of students increased their reading skills. Coaching programs received similar high marks. Nearly 100% of the adults in our Coaching, Family Reading Cohorts, Reading Enrichment, and Training workshops would recommend the programs to others. Nearly 100% of the adults felt significantly confident or more equipped to help their children or students with reading. 1839784 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 15 0 true 27 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 15 15 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X CYNTHIA MEDINA 2149050095 2800 N HAMPTON RD 120 DALLAS TX 75212 NORMA NELSON President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X 111718 0 11303 RAMANDEEP GILL BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MATT CHANCE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANN MONTGOMERY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BEJA WILLIAMS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JORDAN D'SILVA BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER OWEN Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DEVRON ARMSTRONG Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CATHY HELMBRECHT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL KLEIMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LEEANN MALLORY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREA PAYNE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HAROLD HOGUE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JANIE CISNEROS VICE CHAIRMAN 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DONNA EPPS Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRISTINE VU BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 111718 11303 1 false false false 0 502116 1389794 56026 1891910 PROGRAM SERVICE REVENUE 900099 793727 793727 793727 16366 16366 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 other income 900099 2066 2066 2066 2704069 795793 16366 0 0 0 0 134007 107205 13401 13401 0 1400037 1090789 148397 160851 36752 28625 3898 4229 148936 114333 16845 17758 127171 99857 13164 14150 0 0 20654 20654 0 0 0 172949 93276 30952 48721 0 0 0 0 134229 107521 13354 13354 10021 6153 1626 2242 0 0 0 0 50961 40770 5096 5095 12177 9366 1370 1441 INKIND SUPPLIES 56026 56026 SUPPLIES & MATERIALS 51710 48971 1455 1284 MISCELLANEOUS 16619 4089 2007 10523 TRAINING 15099 12183 1418 1498 29040 20620 1933 6487 2416388 1839784 275570 301034 247760 250627 1135137 1211245 179678 425223 121501 106591 0 0 0 0 14421 44361 496704 198603 349062 298101 0 0 0 0 624497 528320 2672056 2864468 115779 107003 599688 513195 715467 620198 X 1801089 1907233 155500 337037 1956589 2244270 2672056 2864468 287681 X false true X true false X 1670522 1186303 1594763 1617155 1891910 7960653 0 0 1670522 1186303 1594763 1617155 1891910 7960653 875484 7085169 443 606 659 20012 16366 38086 0 1886 1168 2582 2066 7702 8006441 2807634 0.88490 0.89410 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 472172 182215 289957 24532 16388 8144 298101 RIGHT OF USE ASSET 528320 528320 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY 513195 513195 X 2707669 3600 3600 2704069 2704069 2419988 3600 3600 2416388 2416388 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and has not been classified as a private foundation as defined in the IRC. Income generated from activities unrelated to the Organizations exempt purposes is subject to tax under IRC Section 511. The Organization had no unrelated business income for the year ended June 30, 2024. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income tax.GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Organizations tax return and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization, and has concluded that as of June 30, 2024, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements.
