The Heart of Our Mission: Celebrating Our Volunteers
At Illiterate, we believe that literacy has the power to transform lives, and behind every child’s success is a dedicated volunteer who makes a difference. Our volunteers are the backbone of our mission, providing the time, passion, and support needed to help children develop strong reading skills and confidence in their education.
Whether they are mentors, tutors, book donors, or event organizers, our volunteers play a crucial role in bridging the literacy gap for children across the Carolinas. Today, we want to honor their dedication and share how they are making a lasting impact.
