WHY SPONSOR A CHILD?

Every child should know how to read!

Kathy after encountering so many children who cannot read or who are reading below their grade level, knew she had to a start a free reading intervention program because most parents in our target market cannot afford to hire a tutor.

A child’s reading challenges should never limit their future. By sponsoring a child through Literacy and Hope, you help keep reading intervention free for St. Louis families and support a mission that pairs literacy with parent advocacy and care for social-emotional needs.

  • Open doors through reading. Help children build the skills and confidence to participate more fully in school and everyday life.
  • Stand alongside families. Support parent advocacy so families can speak up for their children’s educational needs.
  • Support the whole child. Help advance a mission that addresses social-emotional barriers alongside reading difficulties.
  • Invest in lasting opportunity. Stronger reading skills can lay the foundation for greater independence and a future filled with possibility.

Sponsor a child. Help turn reading struggles into opportunities—and hope into a brighter future.
