About
Families Read is a dynamic literacy and empowerment program designed to support fathers, mothers, and their school-aged children through reading, math, financial literacy, wellness, and leadership development. This evidence-based initiative engages families in meaningful activities that build core academic and workforce skills while strengthening parent-child bonds.
Families Read connects participants with resources, mentors, and community leaders to expand learning and enhance opportunities for economic mobility and digital upskilling. Through curated reading experiences and guided discussions, families are inspired by stories and leaders that reflect their lives, values, and futures.
