RIF Highlights

Read for ChangeRead for Change
In support of United We Serve, a national effort launched by President Obama to engage more Americans in serving their communities, RIF invites you to Read for Change. Help us collectively log 3 million minutes of reading with children to raise awareness about the impact of children's literacy on the long-term economic health of the country. The challenge will culminate on September 11, 2009—the National Day of Service and Remembrance. Make your reading minutes count!
