Established on the principle that every child in Fresno County should be reading at grade level by 3rd grade, ReadFresno's mission is getting every child reading and succeeding! Since our founding in 2004 and our incorporation in 2008, ReadFresno has been on the front lines of the illiteracy crisis facing Fresno County.

Through our work with volunteers, schools, and other nonprofits, ReadFresno is strengthening families by inspiring a love of reading and building up home libraries. As we like to say it, literacy is just the gateway to success.
