The Leaders Readers Network cultivates leaders and readers to support equitable education and literacy for all.
WHO WE ARE
The Leaders Readers Network’s projects are essential to supporting our mission of equalizing access to equitable education. Working hand in hand with students, teachers, and community members, TLRN provides students from all backgrounds the opportunity to fall in love with reading and to harness their highest educational potentials.
Each school year, we work with a team of teachers, students, and parents to deliver books and school supplies to students in need. Our network of diverse and dedicated leaders is working together to ensure young readers in their communities have access to literacy through brand new, diverse, and culturally-relevant books, literacy activities, and lessons that build their confidence to become strong, avid readers.
As an organization, we implement our projects with integrity, equity, and collaboration. Through our projects, we are able to provide support for students, parents, educators and school leaders to drive improved literacy for students in need.
