The Big Lift was launched by Peninsula Partnership Leadership Council (PPLC), a coalition of government, education, nonprofit, foundation, and business leaders. PPLC developed a San Mateo County bill of rights for children and youth that was later adopted as a statewide resolution, then focused on the inflection point of 3rd-grade reading proficiency and its link to children’s success. Organizations in the county are working together in support of The Big Lift; yet, we will need even more of the county behind The Big Lift to ensure its success!
Big Lift engagement strengthens and invigorates our community partnerships, agencies, and residents around early literacy as critical to promoting student success!
