Guiding Vision and Values

​

Diversity and Inclusivity – We guide children to books which speak to them. Reading Bridge seeks to expand the literary experience of young readers through the promotion of inclusive storytelling and a diverse pool of authors.

​

Education & Access – Stories are for everyone. Reading Bridge is dedicated to narrowing systemic gaps in education through our Bridge Fairs and partnering with other nonprofits.  We strive to remove barriers to ensure every child goes home with a new book just for them.

​

Love of Reading – Instilling a love of reading gives children a head start in their overall development. Strong literacy expands vocabulary and builds self-confidence. Reading for pleasure drives creativity and enhances development of critical thinking and a variety of other life skills.

​

 Our team is made up of passionate staff and volunteers who are dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of young people. Join us in our mission to build a stronger, more equitable community.
