We're on a mission to give kids the foundation they need for a lifetime of reading success.

Black History Month reminds us that representation matters, especially in reading.

When students connect emotionally to stories and ideas, learning sticks. Confidence grows. Doors open.

At J3, reading is not just about decoding words. It is about feeling seen. When students see themselves reflected in books, reading becomes a place of possibility.

That is why culturally relevant books are central to our work. Representation is not a bonus. It is a pathway to learning.

Honoring Black voices, Black stories, and the doors they help open.

As the year comes to a close, we’re creating space for what matters most.

J3 Foundation will be closed through January 2 so our team can rest, recharge, and spend time reconnecting. We believe that caring for the people who do this work is part of how we sustain it.

We are deeply grateful for our team and our community, and we look forward to returning on January 5 with renewed energy for the year ahead. Wishing you a peaceful and restorative holiday season.

As we wrap up the year, our students are finishing strong.

After weeks of small-group reading instruction, End of Session Bags help students carry their reading lives beyond the classroom. Inside are books and reading tools designed to support daily routines, confidence, and access at home, because building the habit of reading matters just as much as learning the skill itself.

This is part of J3’s whole-child approach to literacy. We focus not only on reading growth during the school day, but on creating the conditions that help students keep reading on their own, with pride and independence.

We’re grateful to the volunteers who gave their time to help prepare these bags, including the CTBC team CTBC Bank USA who joined us to support students as they finished the year strong.

Literacy. Belonging. Possibility.

We are excited to welcome Lauren Wiens to the J3 Foundation Board of Directors.

Lauren brings more than 15 years of nonprofit experience, including building strong grant programs, leading teams, and supporting sustainable growth through strategic fundraising. As the Founder and Principal Grant Consultant at Ink & Impact Grant Consulting, she partners with organizations to help secure funding that advances meaningful, lasting change.

Her connection to literacy is deeply personal. During the pandemic, Lauren saw firsthand how complex and frustrating learning to read can be for some children, an experience that reinforced her commitment to expanding literacy opportunity for under-resourced communities.

We are honored to have Lauren’s voice, expertise, and belief in what’s possible for 4th graders at this pivotal point in their academic lives. Welcome to J3, Lauren.
