Champion Literacy

You are the difference between cnignahg levis and changing lives.

Every single penny is put to immediate use and ALL donations support direct services. Your gift fuels a growing, empowering, sustainable support system: from free reading remediation for children in underserved areas to free professional development for South Florida public school teachers.

It’s not just compassionate. It works.

Children are changed for good. Families access compassionate support. Educators will impact generations of students. 

When a child who struggled finally begins to read, they realize their own brainpower and start to dream big. Literate children grow into engaged citizens who impact their communities for the better.

With The Lucy Project, families access more than literacy remediation, they meet compassionate support empowering them with information and choice. Educators train in the Science of Reading and receive ongoing professional development that will impact hundreds – if not thousands – of students they’ll teach in their careers.
