Literacy Program
Our Literacy Program launched in February of 2022 as a pilot program. After listening to those in the community we serve and receiving multiple requests for assistance with getting books, and help with their reading assignments, we decided to launch the Pilot Literacy Program. After 5 months of testing out the program we are happy to announce its permanency among our outreach programs.
This program provides:
Free one on one literacy tutoring
Free homework help
Free snack-packs and drinks
Free transportation
Free school supplies
We are able to expand and continue the programming in partnership with United Way Suncoast as one of their strategic community partners. This partnership is a three year contract that allows us to facilitate helping students experiencing homelessness, low-income, and at-risk situations be on reading level and/or show progress towards being on reading level by third grade.
Additionally we are able to host this programming in partnership with Pinellas Community Church, a church in the heart of the Southside community that allows us to utilize their Youth and Elementary Auditoriums.
Lastly this programming does not happen without our INCREDIBLE volunteer tutors who give with their time, heart, and resources weekly in order to build a safe and consistent space for each student.

**New students must be in Kindergarten-Third Grade and there is a wait list at the moment.
