The mission of Turn the Page KC is to mobilize our entire community to ensure children gain the literacy skills they need to create a lifetime of opportunity, regardless of what school they attend or what zip code they are from.
Our vision is for everyone in the Kansas City metro area to have the literacy skills to be successful in life.
Grade-level reading proficiency by third grade has been identified as one of the key indicators of academic success. Turn the Page KC is proud to be one of the partner organizations that make Kansas City a Grade-Level Reading Community.
In the spring of 2023, we became members of the Diverse Books for All Coalition. Alongside other literacy non-profits and member organizations from across the country, we're championing access to reading materials that reflect young readers identities and help them develop empathy for others.
We've just launched an exciting new program combining youth literacy with family friendly performing arts!
