ONE-TO-ONE SMART
THE IDEA IS SIMPLE
Pair young children with volunteers from our literacy nonprofit for weekly reading sessions and give children books to keep strengthening their education.
Our vision as a literacy nonprofit is an Oregon where all children can realize their full potential through reading. We provide a meaningful way for the community to support kids and their families through shared reading time and access to books.
