READ Nebraska - Nebraska Department of Economic Development The READ Nebraska program aims to expand mentorships throughout the state of Nebraska to improve the reading levels of elementary students. Mentoring programs equip students with academic and relational skills that position them for success.
Mentorships also strengthen students’ sense of belonging—increasing the likelihood they will remain connected to their community throughout their education and upon graduation. Additionally, mentoring assures youth they are cared for, providing valuable encouragement during times of adversity. Close, healthy, supportive relationships between mentors and mentees, lasting at least a year, are crucial to student success.
Eligible Grant Applicants Eligible applicants are nonprofit mentorship organizations that have been established in Nebraska for at least 15 years. The mentorship program should involve reading programs for elementary students in order to improve their reading. The Department received approximately $4,800,000 for FY2023-24 and FY2024-25 to provide grant aid to qualifying organizations.
Award amounts for the first two years of the READ Nebraska Program were determined on a pro rata basis according to the number of mentors currently working with the organization at time of application. Grant funds may reimburse a variety of mentorship related expenses including training, background checks, marketing, supplies, volunteer recruitment, evaluation, and other costs.
