In San Mateo County, only 35% of Latino, African-American and Pacific Islander children can read proficiently by third grade, a critical milestone for academic success. The Big Lift unites over 200 organizations to ensure every San Mateo County child learns to read. With our grant, The Big Lift will offer summer programs to provide enriching experiences and prevent learning loss so that underserved kids have the support they need to succeed in school and beyond.
