About this organization
Mission
Strengthening kids and communities through the power of stories. LitWorld is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that creates connection, builds understanding, and cultivates confidence, leveraging literacy as a pathway for self-expression and change-making. Our child-centered programs and campaigns develop the 7 Strengths: Belonging, Friendship, Kindness, Curiosity, Confidence, Courage, and Hope. When kids are free to explore their identities and express their dreams, they have the power to create lasting change in their lives, their communities, and beyond.
About
The organization works with locally based, grassroots organizations to run and expand literacy-based programs, building sustainable outcomes for young people and their communities around the world. The organization's programs are designed and written by staff members with support from consultants where needed. Local community leaders manage and lead the programs after receiving training and access to the organization's innovative curricula. The organization creates permanent positive change in the world by implementing these on-the-ground programs to address the hard-to-tackle challenge of illiteracy worldwide. The organization uniquely combines the power of children's own stories, access to diverse reading and writing experiences, peer-to-peer support networks and adult mentor relationships, which leads to productive and transformational literacy.
