Better World Books works with passionate nonprofit partners to provide better lives and a chance for economic, social and political freedom through literacy.

We've also worked with the following groups:

• The Robinson Community Learning Center

  

  The Robinson Community Learning Center is where it all began for us. Located in South Bend, Indiana, is an education outreach effort created by the University of Notre Dame that was opened in February 2001. They offer after school programs, mentoring, language and computer classes, job training initiatives, and much more.

• The Prison Book Program

  

  The Prison Book Program gets books into the hands of prison inmates, who often lack any educational resources. As a grassroots organization operating on a shoestring budget, the organization’s partnership with Better World Books has been essential--providing a stable source of funding.

• Ride for Reading

  

  Ride for Reading is a non-profit organization located in Nashville, Tennessee that donates books via bicycle to children from low-income areas. It hosts fund-raising events to promote literacy while also educating children about bicycling.

  The National Center for Families Learning (NCFL) is dedicated to helping adults and children learn together. NCFL exists to create a culture of family engagement across the educational spectrum.

• Room to Read

  

  Room to Read transforms the lives of millions of children in the developing world by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education.

• National Literacy Trust

  

  The National Literacy Trust is an independent charity that transforms lives through literacy. They believe that literacy is a vital element of action against poverty and that improving reading, writing, speaking and listening skills boosts life chances and increases employability and earning potential.

• READ International

  

  READ is an almost entirely student-volunteer-led organisation. They deliver collaborative, student-led initiatives to improve access to education across the world and increase youth participation in the global community.

• NALA
