What is Words Alive?
Words Alive is a non-profit organization that helps children, teens and adults discover the joy of reading and how books can add meaning to their lives. With a primary focus on San Diego County’s low-income, at-risk, and ethnically diverse populations, Words Alive currently serves more than 650 children and teens each month with its Early Literacy Intervention and Adolescent Book Group programs. We positively affect the lives of hundreds more children, youth and adults in our community with our community programs and Words Alive Westreich Scholarship. Our programs are made possible thanks to our 200-plus member volunteer force, which gives thousands of hours each year in service to our organization.
