Mission: The Literacy Project’s (TLP) mission is to eliminate the literacy gap of underserved children in low-income families who are functionally illiterate. 
History: Founded in 2009, The Literacy Project's vision is to bring the gift of literacy to children as a foundational learning element to help achieve their personal dreams. To accomplish its mission, The Literacy Project (TLP) accesses and enhances key phonic skills among struggling readers; promotes learning in a fun, social and interactive environment; uses proven methods to maximize the learning experience; and fosters self-sufficiency and economic success through both attitudinal and academic improvements.
Recognizing both the short-and long-term social concerns directly associated with illiteracy including higher rates of school dropout, unemployment, and poverty, as well as the long-term implications of the 3rd grade reading achievement gap, TLP was established to make a significant and lasting impact.  Utilizing their comprehensive literacy intervention program, TLP strives to improve reading skill levels among struggling readers in second and third grades at Title 1 schools throughout Southern California, Utah, and Arizona. 
Accomplishments: To date, The Literacy Project has helped more than 10,500 struggling readers throughout Orange, Los Angeles, and Coachella Valley school districts in Southern California, Utah and Arizona. By providing its signature reading program, at “no-cost” to both the students or school, TLP has proven to be incredibly effective and increase reading skills as much as 76% to 129% within a 30-hour program over six weeks.
