We have partnered with Uplift Literacy this year to help with their amazing mission. Uplift Literacy’s mission is to maximize lifelong success for children by improving their reading proficiency – at school, at home and in their communities. Uplift Literacy is a Miami-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that believes literacy is the cornerstone to lifelong success. They partner with schools in underserved communities to empower children with the necessary literacy skills and resources to read proficiently by the end of 3rd grade.

JLM provides volunteers during Uplift Literacy events throughout the school year. Volunteers help to set up, engage with children and families, provide educational materials and snacks. Events take place in the evenings and / or Saturdays across Miami Dade county.
