The Lucy Project

We use science-based methods to turn teachers into literacy experts and students into readers.

The Lucy Project is a registered 501(c)(3) organization offering school-based, multi-site reading remediation that gives students most in need free, daily, individualized tutoring by experts equipped with resources proven to successfully lead struggling readers to achieve grade-level reading proficiency or higher.

There is a Solution
By leveraging our highly qualified experts and the generosity of our funders, The Lucy Project delivers free reading remediation to children in schools in underserved areas. In addition, we give free professional development to public school teachers in South Florida.
Lessons like these typically cost a prohibitive $130 per hour if paid for privately. We envision a Miami-Dade County where every struggling reader has equal access to the high-quality educational resources they need to thrive. We won't rest until the job is done. We believe in equity in education to improve literacy development in our community at large.
