🌟 Your gift today helps children discover something they'll carry with them long after they leave the Reading Science Center: confidence.

Volunteer Libby Barwis has seen firsthand what happens when children are encouraged to explore, create, and solve problems in a welcoming environment.

As Libby says: "Maybe in other parts of their lives, they feel like they're not doing anything right. But here, they can't do anything wrong. They're learning, exploring, and feeling good about themselves."

That's the kind of experience your support makes possible. Every gift helps create a place where children are free to discover, imagine, and believe in themselves. Make your gift today and help more children discover the joys of learning.
