Once you learn to read,
you will forever be free.”
Literacy in action.
Young people equipped with literacy and the confidence to believe in themselves and their ideas have the power to transform society.
We reach students who are often overlooked and ensure they are equipped with a strong literacy foundation—a key to equity.
We do this in three key ways:
We prepare future educators and community leaders with training in:
- Evidence-based, multi-sensory Structured Literacy
- Resilience-building
- Healing-centered care
- Equity Centered Practices
Our Literacy Mentors are reimagining a more equitable and effective learning environment. As paid staff, they are trained to collaborate with students and families to build a more inclusive community.
Evidence indicates that early structured literacy intervention has immediate and long-lasting positive effects on overall academic achievement. As students cultivate relationships with their Literacy Mentors, they build resiliency.
Through individualized attention and engaging structured literacy tools, students learn to overcome reading frustration and unlock their full academic potential.
We provide workshops, resources, individualized reports, and advocacy support for caregivers, youth-serving organizations, schools, and educators.
We work hand-in-hand with community partners and families to ensure every child has access to the resources and support necessary to become a skilled, confident reader.
