Mission and programs · 2023
Mission
Our mission is to cultivate a national network of leaders who provide books, supplies, and projects to support early literacy in underserved schools.
-
The Literacy Fellowship program provides educators at Title 1 schools with free professional development, a diverse classroom library, literacy enrichment activities, and brand new books for students 4 times per year. During the 2023 - 2024 school year, we empowered 116 teachers across 30 school districts at 67 schools to provide 28,488 brand-new books to students. The program impacted 26,239 students directly, improving reading experiences in the classroom and book access for students in need.
Expenses $217,353
-
The Student Ambassador program supports youth (ages 13 - 24) in developing leadership, project management, and advocacy skills by completing service projects that foster equitable literacy access. During the 2023 - 2024 school year, we empowered 125 student leaders to organize and implement 9 service projects, such as the 9/11 service project, MLK Day, and Reading Buddy project to increase leadership development, book access, and sharing a love for reading through coaching and mentorship opportunities within our schools. Additionally, 8,426 student leaders provided 15,000 brand new books and read over 1,285,500 minutes to 14,960 students.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
