Many interventions have been developed to improve educational and developmental outcomes in Syrian refugee children. Here, we focus on one such intervention, We Love Reading, a community-led, shared book-reading program that was developed in Jordan by a Jordanian-run NGO. We conducted a grounded theory analysis of 21 semi-structured interviews with individuals who developed We Love Reading and/or were involved in its implementation. Participants indicated that attaining a balance between two main factors helped with the long-term maintenance and sustainability of the program: the informality and flexibility of the program on the one hand and creating the necessary motivation and commitment in volunteers on the other. Future programs that wish to attain long-term sustainability may benefit from creating a more engaging and incentivizing structure of motivation for their volunteers
