Welcome to Reading Legacies

Reading Legacies’ mission is to facilitate supportive relationships for children through family and friends reading aloud with them.
Our vision is that all children will feel the security of caring adult relationships and develop a love of reading through the read aloud experience.
Our programs are provided year round in 16 sites throughout San Diego County with the help of over 200 volunteers.
Since our inception in 2009, over 49,500 children, youth and family members have shared a storybook together through our programs.
