Literacy grows strongest when families, trusted community leaders, and everyday advocates work together.
We invite you to get involved in the way that fits your role, your skills, and your connection to the community.
Whether you’re supporting a young reader, opening your chair to mentorship, or strengthening the ecosystem around our kids, there’s a place for you here.
How can you contribute?
Parents & Readers
You are your child’s first and most important reading partner. CRC works alongside families to help children build confidence, develop strong reading habits, and feel proud of who they are as readers in spaces they already trust.
Barbers & Stylists
Barbershops and salons are cultural anchors, places where young people listen, open up, and grow. CRC supports barbers and stylists with books, training, and a proven model that turns everyday conversations into moments that shape confidence and literacy.
Community Advocates
Literacy is a community effort. Volunteers, partners, donors, and connectors play a vital role in expanding access to books, building sustainable programs, and helping children thrive beyond the barbershop.
