Read Better Be Better
Read Better Be Better is an education nonprofit organization focused on solving Arizona’s literacy crisis. We work with partnering schools throughout the state to connect young readers and youth leaders to inspire a love of literacy and learning. Since 2014, we have served thousands of Arizona students through our afterschool and at-home reading programs in over 60 schools and multiple community-based organizations across Maricopa and Pinal counties. Each school semester, we have expanded to serve even more kids, schools, and families. That means our team is growing! We are looking for new team members who value: a mission-driven, collaborative community of passionate, creative, and flexible individuals.
Positive Social Impact
We are a team inspired and driven to make a positive impact in the community. Whether a part-time Program Coach working directly in a classroom or a full-time team member operating out of the RBBB main office, we contribute to an organization passionate about education equity and social justice.
Investment in Learning & Growth
Because we truly embody a love of learning, we have robust professional development opportunities to help you at every stage of your career. We provide internships, formal professional development sessions, and various types of mentorships within our organization.
Excellent Perks & Benefits
From our casual dress code around the main offices, flextime and a generous Paid Time Off policy for full-time employees to offering dental and vision plans and medical insurance options with 75% employer contributions, our multitude of benefits are competitive, balanced and forward-thinking.
Commitment to Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
We are committed to our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Statement. We seek and are grateful for any opportunity to listen, learn and grow from exposure to different perspectives. Each year, we extend to all our team the opportunity to participate in our rotating EDI committee.

Program Coordinator, Read Better Be Better
“The opportunity to come to Read Better Be Better right after my time at Arizona State University has been a wonderful learning experience as well as an amazing opportunity to work within a nonprofit whose mission and values align so closely with my own. I have had so many experiences that have allowed me to practice all that I have learned and gained from my time studying and working towards entering the nonprofit world. Getting the chance to help youth across the valley feel more empowered through practicing reading comprehension and leadership skills has been such a fulfilling experience that I am thankful for.”
