To Succeed was established in the summer of 2003.
Paul Vaughan, Managing Director of the Jennings
and Rebecca Jones Foundation, met with professionals who were
involved in literacy programs in Murfreesboro. He offered the Foundation’s
resources as support to a new community literacy initiative and
this group of dedicated educators, social workers, agency directors,
community helpers and volunteers became the Read
To Succeed Council. This community partnership was created to
promote reading in Rutherford County, with emphasis
on family literacy. Read to Succeed creates
Reading in the Schools Day, Reading Rally, Read To Bee, Reader Training, Imagination Station, UNPLUG and Read!, One Book, Families That Read Succeed and a tutoring program for adults.
