America Reads & America Counts (ARC) is a non-profit organization that matches college students with public schools who need support in developing literacy and math skills in the classroom. University students receive federal work study funds for working one-on-one with at-risk children, normally for 10 hours a week in 2-hour increments. The program is most popular in urban areas where there is a large concentration of college and university students. For one university alone in the New York city area, 1000 students are placed each semester in more than 100 elementary and secondary schools.
