“We are honored and humbled every day by the work these organizations do and the good fortune we have to be able to help them.”

ReadBoston Storymobile Summer Events
ReadBoston was founded by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and other city leaders in 1995 as a non-profit children’s literacy organization with an ambitious goal: to ensure that every child in Boston can read at a grade level by the end of the third grade. ReadBoston seeks to be a catalyst for change within all of Boston’s diverse communities by funneling resources, innovative programs, and books into Boston neighborhoods and by creating partnerships with organizations committed to helping children.
During the summer, Highland Street Foundation partners with ReadBoston to hold free storytelling events intended for audiences between the ages of three and six years old.  Children in attendance receive one free book and prizes courtesy of Highland Street Foundation and ReadBoston.  If you're interested in attending with a large group, please registert by contacting Erin DeMarco at ReadBoston at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Halloween Event

ReadBoston also holds a Halloween Party every year.  In 2009, it was held on October 30th at the Boston Public Library.  More than 60 kids from the Wang YMCA joined the Highland Street Foundation and ReadBoston for a Halloween craft, Halloween cookies and punch, and a story telling.
