Project READ is a free, volunteer-based literacy program serving adults, children and families in the Redwood City, CA community. Redwood City Friends of Literacy is the 501(c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to promoting awareness, raising financial support and advocating for the intergenerational literacy services of Redwood City Project READ. Project READ fuels the fire of hope through literacy. We believe literacy is not only a human right, but also a necessity -- a gift of opportunity and hope for the future. Our innovative intergenerational programs bring literacy to the adults, youth and families in our community. Our programs are designed to break the cycle of illiteracy by surrounding families with literacy services that promote education and a lifelong love of learning.
