Mission

Reading to Kids is a grassroots organization dedicated to inspiring underserved children with a love of reading, thereby enriching their lives and opportunities for future success. To this end, Reading to Kids organizes monthly reading clubs on the second Saturday of every month at Los Angeles area elementary schools.

990 for the year ended June 30, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • Reading Encouragement Programs: Reading to Kids organizes reading clubs at eight Los Angeles area elementary schools on the second Saturday of each month. An average of 22 teachers, 60 parents, 192 volunteers, and 324 children attended the monthly reading clubs during the fiscal year. During the reading clubs, pairs of volunteers read teacher-selected books to small groups of children while their parents attend teacher-led classes, receiving training on how to encourage their children to read at home. The 90-minute reading clubs end with an arts and crafts project for the children, which is designed to further inspire them with a love of reading. The books used at the reading clubs are donated to the school libraries, and the attending children and parents receive prize books to take home to supplement their home libraries. Attending teachers also receive prize books for their classrooms in thanks for their assistance with the reading clubs.
