Our Family Literacy program combats the statistic that children of parents with low literacy skills have a 72 percent chance of being at the lowest reading levels themselves. Here is the economic impact.
BRLC utilizes a nationally-recognized evidenced-based curriculum, Abriendo Puertas / Opening Doors, that was developed specifically for the Latino community to increase the success of our largest growing youth population.
The mission of Opening Doors is to “support parents in their roles as family leaders and as their child’s first and most influential teacher in a home that is their child's first school.” Opening Doors' two-generation approach builds parent leadership skills and knowledge to promote family well-being and positive education outcomes for children.
