About Us
Meet Our Founder
United For Urban Literacy’s story begins with a dedicated teacher who has a strong passion for improving the reading scores of inner-city students. Sabrina Garner has taught in urban schools in Milwaukee and Kenosha, Wisconsin 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.
She is a proud graduate of Alabama State University (ASU is a Historically Black University). Sabrina also has a M.S. in Professional Counseling and M.Ed. in School Counseling from Concordia University in Wisconsin.
Sabrina Garner's words to live by:
