THESE VOLUNTEERS CAME FROM BOARD MEMBERS (9), AMERICORPS VISTA (4), INTERNS (4), AUXILIARY GROUPS (353), VOLUNTEERS SUPPORTING MY HOME LIBRARY, READING ROUND UP, CAMP ADVENTURE AND OTHER FOUNDATION PROGRAMS(330). FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1: THE FOUNDATION IS LEADING THE WAY AND TAKING ACTION TO REVERSE THE DISASTROUS SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS CAUSED BY THE VICIOUS CYCLE OF LOW LITERACY IN OUR CITY. WE ENVISION A THRIVING CITY IN WHICH EVERY PERSON POSSESSES THE LITERACY SKILLS NEEDED TO REACH HIS OR HER FULL POTENTIAL IN LIFE, AND THE CYCLE OF LOW LITERACY AND POVERTY AMONG FAMILIES COMES TO AN END. TO THIS END, THE FOUNDATION FOCUSES ON FIVE KEY IMPERATIVES: (1) INCREASING ACCESS TO BOOKS IN THE HOME FOR LOW INCOME CHILDREN. (2) EXPANDING ACCESS TO OUT OF SCHOOL TIME AND IN-SCHOOL READING INTERVENTION PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE READING BELOW GRADE LEVEL. (3) SUPPORTING PARENTS AS THEIR CHILD'S FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT TEACHERS THROUGH HIGH-QUALITY FAMILY LITERACY PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES (4) GIVING ADULTS A SECOND CHANCE TO GAIN THE FUNCTIONAL LITERACY SKILLS NEEDED TO FULLY ENGAGE IN THE WORKPLACE AND PARTICIPATE IN SOCIETY. AND (5) ENGAGING VOLUNTEERS IN PURPOSEFUL AND MEANINGFUL SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES. WE CHAMPION THE LITERACY CAUSE IN HOUSTON AND BRING TOGETHER CROSS-SECTOR LEADERS IN A COLLECTIVE IMPACT APPROACH TO LEVERAGE RESOURCES AND ADVANCE OUR COMMON GOAL OF INCREASING LITERACY RATES. THE FOUNDATION HAS LED THE DEVELOPMENT OF TWO COMMUNITY BLUEPRINTS, ONE FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON YOUTH AND A SECOND ON ADULT LITERACY RATES. WE SUPPORT SEVERAL EVIDENCE-BASED LITERACY PROGRAMS: (1) MY HOME LIBRARY PROVIDES NEW BOOKS TO LOW-INCOME PRESCHOOL THROUGH GRADE 5 CHILDREN. (2) CURIOSITY CRUISER MOBILE LIBRARY INITIATIVE IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH HARRIS COUNTY LIBRARY IN WHICH 4 MOBILE LIBRARIES VISIT CHILDREN AGES 4-15 TO PROVIDE THEM BOOKS TO READ AND KEEP, AS WELL AS ACCESS TO 90-MINUTE AFTER SCHOOL AND SUMMER PROGRAMS IN STEM AND READING. PROGRAMMING IS PROVIDED TO CHILDREN IN LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES AT AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMUNITIES, GOVERNMENT-SUBSIDIZED APARTMENT COMPLEXES AND COMMUNITY CENTERS. (3) FAMILY PLACE LIBRARIES IS A NATIONAL PROGRAM IN WHICH AN AREA WITHING PUBLIC LIBRARY BRANCHES ARE TRANSFORMED INTO DYNAMIC LEARNING CENTERS FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN BELOW AGE FIVE AND LIBRARY STAFF ARE CERTIFIED TO PROVIDE WORKSHOPS AND SUPPORTS THAT LEAD TO INCREASED KINDERGARTEN READING READINESS. (4) BARBARA'S BOOK BOXES ARE LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES THAT ARE INSTALLED IN HIGH-NEED NEIGHBORHOODS AND REGULARLY STOCKED WITH BOOKS FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS TO ACCESS. (5) READING ROUNDUP IS A VOLUNTEER-LED, CLASSROOM-BASED READING PROGRAM IN WHICH THE FOUNDATION PROVIDES CURATED PICTURE BOOKS AND RESOURCE GUIDES FOR VOLUNTEERS USE TO BUILD VOCABULARY, INCREASE READING COMPREHENSION, BOOST CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS, AND INSPIRE A LOVE OF READING. THE PROGRAM TAKES PLACE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ACROSS HOUSTON. (6) SUCCESS THROUGH ADULT READING IS A PROGRAM AIMED AT EXPANDING ACCESS TO PROGRAMMING THAT HELPS ADULTS EARN A GED, LEARN ENGLISH, GAIN DIGITAL LITERACY SKILLS, AND DEVELOP CORE READING AND WRITING SKILLS. (7) CAMP ADVENTURE IS A SUMMER LEARNING PROGRAM THAT INTEGRATES READING WITH SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, ART, AND MATH. THE PROGRAM RUNS FOR FOUR WEEKS AND IS A PARTNERSHIP AMONG CHILDREN'S MUSEUM HOUSTON AND HOUSTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT. VOLUNTEERS SUPPORT THE HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES AND EXPERIMENTS ALONGSIDE CERTIFIED TEACHERS. (8) READ AND RISE IS A SCHOLASTIC PROGRAM WHICH WE INVEST IN WITH HOUSTON AREA URBAN LEAGUE. READ AND RISE WORKSHOPS ARE PROVIDED TO PARENTS OF PRESCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY STUDENTS SO THAT THEY GAIN THE CONFIDENCE AND COMPETENCE TO SUPPORT THEIR CHILD'S EARLY LITERACY SUCCESS. PARTICIPATING PARENTS RECEIVE MATERIALS AND BOOKS TO USE AT HOME. THE BARBARA BUSH HOUSTON LITERACY FOUNDATION ALSO MOBILIZES VOLUNTEERS ACROSS THE CITY. WE HAVE TWO VOLUNTEER AUXILIARY GROUPS-- LADIES FOR LITERACY GUILD AND YOUNG PROFESSIONALS GROUPS. MORE THAN 500 MEMBERS STRONG, THESE GROUPS BUILD CAPACITY FOR OUR PROGRAMS, RAISE MONEY, AND HOST COMMUNITY EVENTS TO BUILD AWARENESS AND ENGAGEMENT AROUND THE LITERACY CAUSE.
