Interested in Education & Literacy? WEC has an internship for you!

Proficiency in reading by the end of third grade enables students to shift from learning to read to reading to learn. Children who are not proficient readers by 4th grade are more likely to struggle academically and are at significantly greater risk of dropping out of school.

In Worcester’s public schools, fewer than half of third-graders read at grade level according to statewide testing. With financial support from the AbbVie Foundation, the Worcester Education Collaborative (WEC) is responding to this crisis with a targeted literacy initiative: Reading Together.

Learn how you can become a part of the Reading Together team with our 2022-2023 Literacy Internship.
