About Us

Our story begins with a dedicated teacher who is passionate about

Meet Our Founder


United For Urban Literacy’s  story begins with a dedicated teacher who has a strong passion for improving the reading scores and providing mindfulness tools for inner-city students. Sabrina Garner has taught in   Milwaukee and Kenosha's urban schools for over 20 years. She has served students at both the middle and elementary level; as a classroom teacher, reading intervention specialist;  a title I reading teacher;  Title II parent event facilitator; and as a school counselor. Sabrina has a proven record of increasing reading test scores by a year or more with students 1st through 8th grade. In addition to teaching, Sabrina has counseled children, adolescence, and adults as a therapist at Reach Comprehensive Mental Health.  

Sabrina is a proud graduate of Alabama State University a Historically Black University. In addition, Sabrina received a M.S. in Professional Counseling and M.Ed. in School Counseling from Concordia University in Mequon, Wisconsin. 


Sabrina Garner's words to live by:
