We create space for literature to live and breathe in community—through author talks, readings, plays, and public discussions. These events bring people together around ideas, identity, and imagination. By celebrating writers and their words, we help foster a deeper connection to the power of storytelling.

Our after-school and summer programs give under-resourced youth a space to explore writing as a form of creativity, confidence, and connection. These workshops are designed to support self-expression while building literacy skills. Through mentorship and structure, young writers learn to see their voices as valuable and their stories as worth telling.

We expand access to physical books in our community—connecting children, families, and elders with stories that reflect their lives and histories. Whether it’s helping build a child’s first home library or supporting shared reading in schools and community centers, our goal is to strengthen literacy and cultural connection through books that belong on every shelf.

We work with publishers, educators, and local partners to get books and learning materials directly to communities that need them most. Through collaboration, we aim to remove barriers to access and create lasting networks that support literacy and educational equity on the ground.
