Midlands Reading Consortium

The Midlands Reading Consortium (MRC) is an education initiative committed to fostering a love of learning in both literacy and STEM.
Volunteer for MRC

Help kids foster a love for LEARNING.

The United Way of the Midlands Reading Consortium (MRC) was formed to increase the number of children reading at grade level at the start of fourth grade. 

In 2021, MRC expanded the program to include Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) because like literacy, students are not meeting science and math milestones. Our STEM focus places an emphasis on curating curiosity, increasing a love and awareness of STEM opportunities, and increasing student confidence in these subjects.
