More on The Californer
"The Literacy Leaders Giving Circle isn't just about supporting a program—it's about investing in a movement," said Janice Frechette-Artinger, executive director of Parentis Foundation. "Through our intergenerational mentoring model, older adult volunteers don't just teach reading—they ignite confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning in children. At the same time, they gain a renewed sense of purpose and connection."
Empowering Young Readers Through Intergenerational Mentorship
The EROC program pairs struggling young readers with trained volunteer mentors aged 50+, providing one-on-one literacy support that improves reading skills, boosts academic confidence, and fosters lifelong success.
By becoming a founding member of the Literacy Leaders Giving Circle, attendees will directly support student literacy intervention, community engagement, and nonprofit education initiatives—ensuring that more children in Orange County receive the critical reading support they need to thrive.
