Mission

The Mission of Love 2 Read, Inc. is to provide scientific, strategic, multi-sensory, structured literacy instruction based on the Science of Reading within a positive partnership learning experience to all learners as well as to those whose lives are impacted by reading difficulties or learning differences, including dyslexia.

Notes from the nonprofit

Our mission partners include The International Dyslexia Association - Florida Branch, Decoding Dyslexia - Florida Branch, The Reading League - Florida Branch. We have letters of partnerships from three public charter schools in Florida: The Schools of Arts and Sciences-Thomasville Road, The School of Arts and Sciences-The Centre, and Sebastian Charter Junior High School. We partner with Keiser University-Flagship Campus-WPB for student interns who help us serve our mission while expanding their learning experiences beyond the college classroom. We are a member of the Hobe Sound Chamber of Commerce. We are actively expanding our networks and as funding allows, we are expanding our services. We rely on the donations of angels, fundraisers, and grants. Many of our clients donate tutoring fees on a sliding scale based on income and all volunteer. Our tutors slide their fees and volunteer. Our working Board of Directors and active Board of Advisors are unpaid volunteers.

GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
