Welcome to ReadConnect
Promoting a Love for Books and a Positive Mindset
ReadConnect is a student-led non-profit igniting a passion for reading and positive thinking in non-native English speaking children. Committed to fostering community development, we aim to raise awareness and empower the next generation through education and positive initiatives.
Our Story
ReadConnect, a student-founded nonprofit organization, was founded in 2021 in Hong Kong in response to the challenges posed by COVID-19, initiating volunteer reading programs aimed at non-native English speaking children. These sessions were designed to counteract reduced face-to-face interactions during the pandemic, providing a platform for children to gain confidence in speaking and communicating in English through interactions with our teen volunteers. Alongside our Hong Kong team, we have dedicated teams in Thailand, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, all united in our mission to foster a love of reading and a positive mindset globally.
​
To date, we have serviced over 200 students and donated 1000+ books around the world
