Capable Communities
What is Capable Communities?
Capable Communities is a 501-(C)(3) Non-Profit devoted to assisting the progression of literacy rates amongst special needs children, specifically in low-income areas.
Many academic institutions lack the proper resources to support children with learning disabilities. At Capable Communities, we acknowledge this issue and strive to fix it. We create partnerships with many bookstores and libraries to receive gently used books. Furthermore, we host fundraisers to purchase puzzles to add to the reading kits. Once our volunteers assemble these kits, we locate schools and foundations that support special needs youth and donate our kits to their programs.
Who Have We Donated To?
We’ve donated over 450 kits containing books and puzzles to educational institutions and foundations. A few institutions we’ve donated to include:
Bay Area:
-
Skyline High School
