Current Initiatives
Read Alouds Program
The Read Alouds Program provides virtual storytelling sessions for schools and communities around the world. Members of our global volunteer network lead live story sessions via video calls or create recordings that others can enjoy at their convenience.
The Pen Pal Program
The Pen Pal Program pairs girls around the world to encourage literacy, cultural exchange, and mentorship through letter writing. Each volunteer is matched with a student at the Kufunda Village school in Zimbabwe.
The program is designed to strengthen writing skills, encourage meaningful friendships, and promote cross-cultural connections

Our team, in collaboration with academics studying education accessibility, present clear guidance on navigating college applications, scholarships, financial aid, and résumés. as well as practical study strategies.
