Community Engagement
because children and communities thrive when literacy is a community priority
Achieving our Moonshot Goal requires buy-in from the entire community. Indian River County government officials and community leaders have declared early literacy a top priority through their ongoing participation in our community programs.
Engaged Community Programs:
- Moonshot Community Action Network (MCAN), a community leadership program with over 125 members committed to working together to achieve the Moonshot goal of 90% literacy by the end of third grade
- Community awareness and action campaigns ensure the community holds the Moonshot Goal and annually onboards newly elected officials and civic leaders as Moonshot Leaders.
- Moonshot Reading Rocket delivers engaging literacy experiences to families throughout Indian River County
Achieving our Moonshot Goal requires buy-in from the entire community. Indian River County government officials and community leaders have declared early literacy a top priority through their ongoing participation in our community programs.
Did you know low literacy costs the nation $200 billion in safety and health issues and $2.2 trillion each year in lost productivity?
TLA works to engage and educate community stakeholders to support literacy efforts in their context and make Indian River County a model for the nation.

Moonshot Reading Rocket and
Community Events
Sponsored by TLA, the Moonshot Reading Rocket travels in (and out) of Indian River County, helping families access literacy-themed activities, reading spaces, and free books they can take home. In addition, The Learning Alliance and our community partners frequently host events where families can come to learn and play together.
