My Nonprofit Reviews

The Literacy Lab is a remarkable organization. It provides a very structured, data driven, proven literacy tutoring program to thousands of deserving, low income prek to grade 3 students. Their tutors (over 200 in school year 2016-2017) are well trained, driven, and dedicated. They work currently in 4 main metropolitan areas: Washington, DC/Alexandria, VA; Baltimore; Richmond, VA; and Kansas City, MO. The tutors are supported by a pretty incredible group of social entrepreneurs, led by our founders, Ashley Johnson and Tom Dillon. Ashley and Tom lead a Washington, DC based staff that works extremely closely with all our constituents -- school districts; schools; teachers; master literacy coaches; state boards of education; federal government; students; private funders, etc. The work that The Literacy Lab is doing is transformational to the lives of over 4,000 students currently.
