Our Mission: To promote literacy and motivate children to read by building at-home libraries for underserved children in Greater Los Angeles.
With 35 years of service to Los Angeles’ most
resource-deprived children, Reading Is Fundamental
of Southern California (RIFSoCal) has witnessed thousands
of life-changing moments and received innumerable testimonials
from grateful participants. We are now into our second and third
generation of RIF kids!”
RIFSoCal will work to ignite the
spark of literacy in more than 65,000 children in the 2008 –
2009 academic year, distributing 195,000 books to build personal, at-home libraries.
According to the 2004 report from the L.A. Workforce Literacy
Project, 3.8 million (53%) of adults in Los Angeles County have
low literacy skills – a condition that affects a multitude
of social and economic issues, limiting individuals in their employment
opportunities and, ultimately, the options open to them in life.
If we ever hope to improve adult literacy, we must begin with
our children.
