Our purpose and mission.

Our purpose.

We at Our Community Reads are committed to showing an accurate representation of our community, planting seeds of possibilities, and inspiring a love of reading.

We are cultivating a space where our Black children feel empowered and can become academically confident while inviting our Hero Parents to be Co-Educators alongside us.

Our Mission.

We cultivate environments where Black children can thrive academically and emotionally—while also holding space for the inner child of their caregivers to feel safe, nurtured, and reconnected to joy.

We invite our parents to be an active part of our village—rooted in connection, curiosity, and shared exploration—by joining us for events that create meaningful opportunities to bond with their children and with one another. We also host gatherings that welcome the broader community, building joyful bridges between families and neighbors alike.
