Thank you for your interest in supporting Literacy Partners! There are many ways to join us in pursuing our mission and helping our students meet their goals.
Donate
Your donation helps us provide free literacy classes to motivated parents in New York and across the country who want to find better-paying jobs, become more active members of their communities and families, and help their children succeed in school. By educating parents and supporting them in promoting their children’s early literacy skills, we are closing the achievement gap among low-income and immigrant children before they even begin school.
Volunteer
Every volunteer at Literacy Partners helps us do more to help our students learn English, improve their reading and writing skills, and prepare for the high school equivalency test.
Books of Their Own
Even a small collection of books promotes parent-to-child reading, gives children the chance to select their own “just-right” books, and instills a family culture of learning. Yet 61 percent of families living in poverty do not have a single book in their homes, compared to dozens, if not hundreds, of children’s books owned by the families of college-educated parents.
Join Our Bike for Books Team
Literacy Partners is an official charity partner of the TD Five Boro Bike Tour. Each year, Literacy Partners recruits a dedicated team of charity riders to raise funds and support for our students.
Join Our Marathon Team
Literacy Partners is proud to be a charity partner of the New York City Marathon and recruits runners annually. Every dollar raised supports our ability to provide free classes that help low-income parents to gain skills to create a better life for themselves while transferring important literacy skills to their children.
