Our Mission
Raising Hands Literacy Project is dedicated to empowering underserved students by providing high-quality, individualized tutoring and innovative enrichment programs. We aim to close academic gaps, build confidence, and inspire a love for learning through personalized support and hands-on experiences. By fostering equitable access to education and nurturing critical thinking and creativity, we equip students with the skills and opportunities they need to succeed in school and beyond.
As a community-based nonprofit, our mission is to identify needs and respond with targeted, high-impact support. This year, we saw a growing need for advocacy support, high quality afterschool enrichment, particularly a STEM based program, and reading support to our youngest readers.
“I am proud to work as a tutor for Raising Hands, providing free, high-quality reading instruction to students from low-income families in our community. Opening the doors to reading success for a child is life-changing and benefits all of us.”
