There are 31.4 million children who live in low-income families across the United States. Millions of children do not have access to quality and relevant books in their homes.
The Leaders Readers Network is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization dedicated to equalizing access to quality education. Each school year, we work with a team of teachers and students in underserved communities to deliver books and school supplies to children and classrooms in need. Our network of teachers and students are one of the best, representing a diverse and dedicated group of leaders who are working together to ensure children in their communities have access to brand new books, school supplies, and leadership development.
OUR MISSION
Build a national network of leaders who provide books, supplies, and projects to support early literacy in underfunded schools.
OUR VISION
Empower teachers, student leaders, and parents to become lifelong advocates for equal access to education.
OUR PURPOSE
Provide students with diverse, culturally relevant books that represent their culture, interests, strengths, and creativity to grow a love of reading and learning, helping them become avid readers and positive leaders.
Our work together is guided by these core values:
Collaboration
We actively work together to demonstrate compassionate teamwork while serving children, educators, and families in our community.
Equity
We treat all with the utmost respect and fairness while ensuring each child has access to educational resources necessary for success.
Integrity
We uphold the law at the highest standards and strive to continually improve our work and processes.
