Thank you to our supporters and volunteers for a great 2019! Your work this past year has created incredible results. We've seen firsthand that literacy isn't just teaching children to read – it’s about changing lives and strengthening communities. Whether through your time, your money, or your voice, we hope you'll continue to support to us in 2020. 
#LiteracyisJustice
We all want out community to be a good place to live and to work. One of the best ways to ensure that outcome is to teach children how to read. Study after study shows that children who read well turn into adults who are gainfully employed, dedicated members of their community who interact less with the criminal justice system, earn more, vote more often, and lead more stable lives. ENHE isn't just about teaching children to read – we provide an outlet for kids and community members to work together to make a real difference.
Our approach is results-driven and our curriculum changes lives. During our most recent summer program, more than 100 students competed pre- and post-assessments and 99% of students showed gains or maintained their reading level.

ENHE Board Member Gracie Porter (former chair of Metropolitan Nashville Board of Education) on why she supports East Nashville Hope Exchange:

​I care about ENHE because it focuses on the whole family. It is supportive and inclusive no matter how great the need.
East Nashville Hope Exchange (ENHE) is a nonprofit organization with the mission of strengthening literacy of at-risk children in East Nashville. ENHE provides a supportive, structured and safe environment where children can learn and have fun. We work with children from schools in the Stratford and Maplewood clusters.

East Nashville Hope Exchange is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee and began as a community outreach program of St. Ann’s Episcopal Church. In 2010, it became an independent 501(c)(3) organization.
