Betsy O’Brien joined Lead to Read KC as a reading mentor because she believes, “Time is the biggest gift we can give to a child. By helping students develop early reading skills and gain confidence, we help open doors for their future.” Betsy makes an immeasurable impact with students by taking the time to read to a child, one-on-one. Lead to Read’s mission is to support the social, emotional, and reading skills that are foundational for student success by advancing its literacy platform and mobilizing community volunteers.
