Opening eyes. Opening minds. Opening worlds.

Every child in every school in South Carolina deserves access to the same educational opportunities. But in many rural and underserved communities, barriers exist that create limitations for our most vulnerable students. Our work seeks to help address these disparities through literacy initiatives, teacher-informed programming, and a life-changing focus on early learners.

My First Library

Participating kindergarten students choose ten books to build their own home library, thus helping to close the “summer slide.”
