Building bridges to a brighter future through literacy
Building bridges to a brighter future through literacy
Bridge to Literacy is an international, student-led nonprofit that fosters a love of language through literacy in children from underserved communities around the world in Kenya, Honduras, Ukraine, Mexico, Gaza, and more. A PVSA (Presidential Volunteer Service Award)- certified organization, we provide students with access to greater opportunities while fostering meaningful relationships that transcend borders.
Bridge to Literacy engages students from all around the world, customizing our training to meet their needs. We provide a hybrid teaching solution that consists of pre-recorded lessons, live group sessions and live one-on-one sessions.
Impact starts with passion, and Bridge to Literacy is no exception. As first-generation Americans, National Spelling Bee competitors, and champion debaters respectively, co-founders Elizabeth Shvarts and Gary Shteyman are committed to spreading literacy to every child, no matter their financial background or geographic location.

Of course, our work to spread literacy internationally wouldn't be possible without our diverse, multi-faceted team of volunteers. Bridge to Literacy has 60+ high school students from across the United States in New York, Arizona, Illinois, California, and more, as well as around the world in countries like Nepal, Egypt, Canada, and India.
Your contribution will enable us to support our students and continue operations. We are very grateful for your generosity.
