The Literacy Project Celebrates 10 Years
09.20.19
Newport Beach-based The Literacy Project (TLP), a nonprofit organization enabling disadvantaged youth to increase their reading skill levels, is celebrating 10 years of achievement throughout September, which is also National Literacy Month. Over the past decade, The Literacy Project has helped over 9,000 struggling students learn how to read through a one-of-a-kind program that is provided at no cost to the students or schools.
The Literacy Project currently serves school districts throughout Orange and Los Angeles counties, the Coachella Valley, and recently crossed state lines to support southern Utah.
The program is taught by specialized instructors in a fun, social and interactive environment, and is proven to improve reading abilities by as much as 129%. The comprehensive 30-hour program taught by multi-credentialed teachers, most of whom hold a master’s degree, costs The Literacy Project $250 per student which is made possible by generous supporters.
The Literacy Project will celebrate 10 years of achievements along with all those who have supported its mission at its Anniversary Gala on Friday, October 11 at the Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach. Committed to leading the charge against the growing illiteracy rates, The Literacy Project is successful because of the generous donations provided by supporters year-round, who continue to give the gift of literacy to children who need it most.
