Our Work
Did you know that 66% of fourth-graders are reading below grade level? That year is so important because children learn to read up until 3rd grade and after that they read to learn. Coaching for Literacy uses the power of sports to raise awareness about the problem of illiteracy and funds for literacy programs serving students in grades K-3. We are connectors bringing individuals closer to the issue of illiteracy, with a core belief that literacy is a fundamental right of every individual.
