WHO WE ARE
Reach Out and Read, Northeast is part of a national nonprofit that gives young children a foundation for success by incorporating early literacy and relational health promotion into pediatric primary care. Our mission is to promote children's literacy and social-emotional health during the span of rapid brain growth and development between birth and age five. We want families to leave their well child visits with the resources they need to help their children thrive.
OUR REGION
Reach Out and Read, Northeast includes Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Upstate New York. Learn more about our recent expansion into Maine here.
our partnership with FQHCs
Although all children deserve and benefit from participating in the program, we prioritize children in historically marginalized communities who benefit the most. As part of our effort to expand with equity, we are working to increase our partnership with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs)
We are here to help! Some of the questions on our National Center’s application do not apply to FQHCs. Our FQHC team will help you navigate the application. Contact them today!
