Too many New York City forth graders can't read at grade level.

Thousands of children in our city lack the single, most critical skill they need to succeed in school and life. But this doesn’t have to be their story, and you can change the ending.

Springboard Collaborative has a proven solution that coaches families to become their children’s literacy partners, and we’re inviting a select group of New York City’s most influential leaders to help us scale our impact.

I like how engaged they are. They are invested in my children enjoy reading and make it easier. My twins used to struggle reading but now they have confidence and feel better about themselves. I also enjoyed the parent workshops.
