Change for Change

Join us as we launch "Change for Change," a schoolwide coin drive dedicated to supporting early literacy programs through Illiterate Know More (IKM).

Every penny, nickel, dime, and quarter collected will help provide books, reading tools, and support to children in underserved areas of Charlotte who are learning to read.

  • Reading by 3rd grade is one of the biggest predictors of academic success. Your spare change can help give a child the gift of literacy—and a better future.

  • Will be announced soon.

  • Raise $2,000 to support literacy in East Charlotte and beyond
