Team Long Run is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit that uses active play and reading to give kids living in rural communities a brighter future.
How do we do that?
To support early reading, we supply books to every child in a school to take home and keep. Research has proven that books in the home are the single most reliable predictor of early literacy. Research has also proven that active kids are better prepared to learn. This is true in the classroom and at home. We provide original, active play programs that are easily delivered by teachers and parents. Together, books in the home and active play equip a child for academic success.
We believe a child's chance for success should grow with them.
Team Long Run develops and delivers programs that support a child’s progress by linking learning, early literacy, and active play. We work exclusively in communities with schools and families that are often facing long odds, partnering with some of the most dynamic agencies and philanthropies that share our commitment to helping these kids rewrite their futures.
