Our Kids Read (OKR) puts the power of story into children's hands so they can write their own futures. OKR is a Maryland-based 501(c)(3) with three core programs:
A physical Literacy Hub in Baltimore, where children receive ten free books with every visit and can register for the one-on-one Reading Buddies program.
Large-scale distribution — more than 100,000 books per year — to hospitals, schools, United Way organizations, Boys & Girls Clubs, and other community partners.
A one-on-one, literacy-focused mentorship program pairing children in Title I schools with trained mentors for weekly reading sessions that build a lasting love of reading.
