OUR VISION

We see a world where young global citizens achieve development through the power of education.

OUR MISSION

READ International delivers collaborative, student led initiatives to improve access to education across the world and increase youth participation in the global community.

OUR VALUES

READ Takes Action….We take a ‘never say never’ attitude to global issues and embrace all things innovative, exciting and resourceful. We have a bias for action and we never shy away from a challenge.

READ is Cross Cultural….We open young people’s minds and encourage them to become global citizens. We believe that an informed global community will find the solutions to world issues.

READ is Youth Led….We rely on the spirit of young people, their passion for volunteering and their interest in the global community. We never take this for granted, we listen to their voice and let them take the lead.

READ is Collaborative….We firmly believe that there is no limit to the things we can achieve when we all work together. We bring together a variety of individuals, groups, communities, and cultures to achieve our mission.

READ is Win-Win….There is a mutuality to everything we do; from our student volunteers; our beneficiaries in East Africa and right through to our corporate partners. Everybody benefits from READ’s great work.
