Our mission is to improve the quality of life in our community by promoting and achieving literacy. The Coalition serves as the leading advocate for literacy in Palm Beach County by developing and maintaining highly visible literacy programs and serving as a catalyst for innovative strategies. We act as an information networking and referral center while facilitating collaborative efforts among literacy providers. We lead and unify the community in literacy initiatives. As we strive to build a literate community, our efforts are focused on our most economically and educationally disadvantaged neighbors. Each year approximately 27,000 children, adolescents and adults benefit from our 10 direct service programs. We help young children enter kindergarten with essential school readiness skills. We tutor elementary school age students to help them improve their reading skills. We mentor adolescents and young adults so that they will stay in school, graduate on time and be prepared for further education or to enter the workforce. We teach adults with limited literacy so that they can gain employment, receive promotions and earn a family-sustaining wage. We work with families to establish a legacy of literacy.

More than twenty years ago, four college students asked each other: What if we could offer children from under-resourced communities individualized attention before they enter kindergarten, giving them the critical academic and social skills—the ‘jumpstart’—they need to succeed? The idea took hold and today Jumpstart has trained more than 45,000 college students and community volunteers, preparing nearly 100,000 children for kindergarten success. Jumpstart’s program is replicated across the country in 14 states and the District of Columbia. We leverage partnerships with higher education institutions, community organizations, Head Start programs, community-based preschools, and school districts to create sustainable solutions in order to close the kindergarten readiness gap.
