Welcome to Read St. Alliance
A Place for Everyone
Our Mission
“Welcome to Read Street Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening community connections and supporting local businesses in the Read Street neighborhood. We host a wide range of classes on skills vital to our vibrant local industries, including bartending, DJing, music production, baking, retail, and jewelry making. Through hands-on learning, we empower residents to explore new trades and build practical skills.
Our commitment to community extends beyond education. We organize regular neighborhood cleanups, monthly block parties, and safety interventions to foster a clean, safe, and lively environment where neighbors can come together, celebrate, and support one another. Read Street Alliance is where community, creativity, and collaboration thrive.”
Read St. Alliance wants to bring
neighbors together through educational classes,
wellness events and community engagement.
