Literations is a nonprofit organization in the civic and social sector that concentrates on improving reading skills for kindergarten through third-grade students in under-resourced communities in the Greater Boston area. Its intergenerational approach pairs trained older adult volunteers with young learners to provide individualized, one-on-one literacy support. With more than two decades of operation, the organization aims to help children reach literacy proficiency by fourth grade, laying a foundation for confident, lifelong learning. A notable recent development is a 2025 partnership in which Curry College, together with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston and Literations, launched an early literacy initiative for underserved Boston neighborhoods. The organization collaborates with other community groups to expand access to one-on-one literacy support for students and their families in the Greater Boston area.
