Support our work
To keep our costs as low as possible for our community, Sunnyside Literacy Lab operates on a shoestring budget.
Our current equity policy offers one-on-one services at a group rate for select learners. This policy, along with our free public programs, comes at the sole cost of SLL and is drawn from the leadership budget.
Our model is successful because we put kids and educators first, but it leaves little wiggle room.
We take pride in serving our community.
79% of learners are people of color.
42% of learners have IEPs (documented learning differences).
42% of learners are bilingual.
47% of learners are adolescents.
While our program is priced for affordability, it is still a significant budget line for many families.
When life happens, families may have to make difficult decisions and pause services.
For learners with complex learning profiles, this pause can have a significant impact.
Our current goal is to create an emergency fund for our existing families. This will provide one-time assistance to cover our full trimester-long program fee, ensuring the continuation of services.
Families whose children are most in need of our services are prioritized. These learners fall into the following categories:
Elementary-aged children reading 3-4 years below grade level.
Adolescents reading 5-8 years below grade level.
Please consider supporting our work!
Sunnyside Literacy Lab is a direct line into our communities.
