Racial Equity

As an organization, equity is one of our core values. At Readers 2 Leaders, we have been working diligently to further our mission in providing equitable education to all, leveraging learnings and industry best practices. Equity is intertwined with race, and our racial equity task force, made up of staff and board members, is dedicated to aligning our mission to address inequities that primarily impact racially diverse communities to seek the superpower of literacy to thrive. As we continue our journey to become a fully inclusive organization, we invite you to evolve with us, for it is through shared understanding, an openness to learning and change, and collective action that we can be agents for true transformation.

As we look at the roadmap ahead, our intent is to instill an equity framework to overcome poor academic outcomes for Black and Latino students. Historically, these underserved groups face the biases that exist in their education and training that affect student outcomes. As we continue in our journey, we look to solve inequities by catering to the unique needs and challenges of our parents, students, and community partners.
