The Indy Learning Team builds partnership to create opportunity through access to literacy. We accomplish this by:
 

1. Empowering and investing in community members and programs 

2. Providing  science-based explicit literacy instruction to catch-kids before they fail 

3. Building trusting relationships and infrastructure to deal with unanticipated needs and problems
