Theory of Change
IF READ lives and breathes its core values and facilitates a community’s belief in itself through the process of establishing community-led library and resource centers that serve as a foundational platform for unlocking a community’s social and economic potential
THEN we build cohesive, inclusive, and resilient communities where everyone – especially those most marginalized – access and benefit from knowledge, resources, and opportunities necessary to shape their own dignified and fulfilling futures.
