The Book Truck is a non-profit organization based in Long Beach, CA, dedicated to improving teen literacy in underserved communities throughout Los Angeles County. They provide thousands of free books to foster care, homeless, and low-income teens, not only teaching literacy skills but also creating intrinsic motivation to read.
Their mission is to create brighter futures for teens by promoting literacy, as higher literacy skills have been shown to reduce the likelihood of teen pregnancy and school dropout. The Book Truck offers various ways to support their cause, including making tax-deductible donations, volunteering for book sorts and events, and applying for their Teen Lit Boxes and Literacy Training programs.
