The goal of Latino Book Fund is not only to distribute books to community college kids who need them, but our expanding goal is to ignite a passion for learning within our local community. It is clear when children develop a love of reading, they become better students and become more engaged in the world around them.
Another important goal of Latino Book Fund is to promote learning excellence among our community college students, who will ultimately transfer to University, where they will graduate and thereafter become business leaders.
