Welcome to Literature for All of Us!

We are a nationally recognized, award-winning literacy organization that brings the rewards of reading and writing to young people in the Chicago area.

Since 1996, we have been connecting girls and teen mothers, and more recently boys, to their strengths through literature, engaging them in book groups where they read and discuss literature and write poetry. Literature for All of Us is a 501(c)(3) organization.

We open worlds by opening books!
