Toyota's Family Literacy Program

Since 1991, Toyota and NCFL have forged successful programs to promote family literacy in the United States. Today, the Toyota/NCFL partnership accounts for 256 family literacy sites in 50 cities and 30 states. As part of this partnership, the Toyota Family Literacy Teacher of the Year award has been presented annually since 1997 and recognizes individual teachers'contributions to improving literacy among youth and adults. Since 1991, Toyota's commitment to NCFL programming has exceeded $36 million.

Three major programs have been developed through the Toyota partnership based on the family literacy model of parents and children learning together. The models have influenced federal and state legislation, leveraged local dollars to support family literacy and led to successful programs being replicated across the country.

The National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) creates educational and economic opportunity for America's most at-risk children and their parents. For more information on Toyota's partnership with the NCFL, please visit http://www.famlit.org/Toyota.
