Mission Statement
JCL mobilizes volunteer reading partners to shareled the pleasures of reading one to one with an elementary school child, while helping the child to experience success. Our mission is to empower children with potential to appreciate the written and spoken word; to give the child the opportunity to share the joy of reading and expressing themselves to an adult that listens and enjoys learning with that child.
