Community Partnerships
ReadFresno works with other organizations to inspire a love of reading
in children. By collaborating with organizations, non-profits,
faith- and community-based organizations, and other institutions, the
program which began with four schools in March 2005, has quickly
expanded to twenty-nine by March 2008.
