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 high school equivalency and English classes to motivated New York parents 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 2019 TD Five Boro Bike Tour. Each year, Literacy Partners recruits for dedicated charity riders to raise funds and support for our students, and participate in the bike tour.
Join Our Marathon Team
Literacy Partners is proud to be a returning charity partner of the 2019 TCS New York City Marathon – runner recruitment is currently open.
