 KOREH L.A. is the non-sectarian volunteer literacy program created by The Jewish Federation's Jewish Community Relations Committee. "KOREH" is the Hebrew word for read. Each volunteer spends one hour, once a week, reading with a pre-school or elementary school child. In just over nine years, we have trained over 7,500 volunteers to work with more than 16,000 children in more than 100 Los Angeles elementary and pre-schools. Principals, teachers, and volunteers express the impact that KOREH L.A. volunteers have on the reading abilities, attendance, classroom participation, and self-esteem of the children.
