Reading Youth Initiative

The Reading Youth Initiative aims to promote continued education, mentoring and support for healthy choices in children who live or go to school in the South Reading area.

Since its inception in the summer of 2006, the South Reading Youth Initiative has interacted with more than 250 youth, providing annual summer camps, after-school mentoring programs during the academic year and a variety of cultural activities including museum visits, sporting events and educational field trips all within the Greater Reading and Philadelphia area.

The Reading Youth Initiative runs afterschool programming in Millmont and Tyson Schoener Elementary Schools, Southern Middle School, Reading High School, and partners with select Olivet Boys & Girls Clubs in Berks County.
