Local Outreach
Books for a Change has partnered with some influential San Diego Students from around the county to create an advisory board focused on local outreach. Each board member shares the same passion for reading that prompted the founding of Books for a Change, as well as moves our mission forward. At each of the member's schools, there will be a Books for a Change club focused on community outreach and impact, spreading literacy throughout the city.
