MISSION STATEMENT
California Dictionary Project, founded in April 2002, grew out of the need to improve literacy rates in California's public schools. We believe that by reaching children early third grade), providing them with tools (dictionaries), personalizing the delivery (volunteers from the local community), and teaching them how to use those tools (presentations and teacher lesson plans), we can grow "readers." By giving students access to language and ideas, we give them access to alternatives that can affect the course of their lives. The California Dictionary Project does not discriminate in its hiring practices or provision of services on the basis of any of the following: race, color, religious affiliation, sex (including gender identity), pregnancy, sexual orientation, age, disability, physical appearance, national origin, language, educational background, medical condition, marital status, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local laws.
