Welcome to Reach Out and Read’s new strategic plan
Welcome to Reach Out and Read’s new strategic plan, a roadmap for dramatic expansion across the next three years — specifically, to serve 10 million children by 2030 — and a demonstration of our continued commitment to nurturing the relationships that enable every child to learn and thrive.
A diverse group of stakeholders came together to craft the plan, which outlines the ways in which we will increase our support of young children and families nationwide.
Central to our strategy are seven ambitious goals, designed to drive transformational growth while maintaining the quality of and fidelity to our evidence-backed model. From expanding our reach, ensuring sustainable funding, and centering DEI to increasing visibility, strengthening infrastructure, and fostering organizational connections, we are ready to significantly broaden our impact. We want to establish Reach Out and Read as an essential component of pediatric care.
Our updated vision, mission, and values provide a framework for this vital work. You’ll find more about each — as well as our goals and the strategies by which we’ll achieve them — below.
We aim to create a world where every family uses shared reading to build the bonds needed for their children’s health and future. We invite you to join us on this revolutionary journey, working together to change the lives of children, families, and communities.
