IGNITING POTENTIAL by EMPOWERING READERS
At Parentis Foundation, we strive to IGNITE THE POTENTIAL of both youth and older adults through the transformative power of literacy and mentorship.
We firmly believe in the profound impact of intergenerational connections in fostering positive change. Our program EMPOWERS two generations: committed senior volunteers and children struggling with reading proficiency.
Through personalized one-on-one tutoring, we have witnessed remarkable outcomes:
Igniting a Love for Reading: Our program inspires a genuine passion for reading in young learners, creating a lasting love for books and learning.
Boosting Confidence: By connecting with dedicated senior mentors, children gain self-assurance and self-esteem, empowering them to excel in their educational journey.
Improving Literacy Skills: With the support of our mentors, children make significant strides in their literacy skills, bridging the gap in reading proficiency.
When Literacy matters for the success of a child, your donation matters too. Together we will...
Improve Academic Success: Empowering Readers OC provides vital literacy intervention, helping students in grades 1-5 build foundational reading skills that directly impact their overall academic performance.
Break the Cycle of Poverty: Early literacy proficiency is a key factor in preventing poverty. By supporting Empowering Readers OC, you're helping students gain the skills needed to succeed in school and life, setting them up for a brighter future.
Foster Confidence and Growth: Through personalized mentoring, students build confidence in their reading abilities, which translates to greater self-esteem and a lifelong love of learning.
Strengthen Communities: By investing in literacy and intergenerational mentoring, you’re not just supporting a student—you’re helping to create stronger, more connected communities in Orange County.
