About J3 Foundation
J3 Foundation (J3) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to give kids the foundation they need for a lifetime of reading success. J3 strives to equip 4th graders in communities with fewer resources with the tools they need to help them reach grade-level literacy and foster positive self-image, self-confidence, a supportive community, a new love of reading, and an identity as a reader.
Launched in 2018, the program was created in response to the alarming data showing that 4th-grade students in under-resourced schools who have fallen behind in their reading level have a greater chance of ending up in prison or on welfare as young adults. J3 is committed to changing that narrative by providing reading intervention programs and after-school reading clubs to students in Los Angeles County, and eventually in other cities across the country.
The Organization Today
A unique and holistic program, J3 is much more than just a reading and tutoring program; it provides services to children utilizing resources based on research, data, and real-life experience. The high adult-to-student ratio ensures personalized attention, where staff are trained as reading coaches and in restorative practices to address the needs of each individual child. Adapting quickly to meet the needs of the school community being served, J3 provides tailored programming for each school site and emphasizes social-emotional learning as the foundation of their programs. The program structure, refined through trial and error, consists of both a twice-weekly reading literacy intervention pull-out program during the school day, and a once-weekly after school Cozy Reading Club. Together, these programs have significantly improved the reading literacy levels of the students they serve, fostering a love of reading through the use of culturally diverse books that reflect each child's identity.
J3 fosters a supportive and communicative professional culture that emphasizes accountability, transparency, and mission alignment among its team members. By setting ambitious goals, J3 envisions expanding its unique approach, aiming to serve 1,000 students in Los Angeles by 2028, with 740 already reached in 2024. In addition, J3 hopes to expand to other cities in the coming years, eventually making the program a national one.
The Opportunity
J3 envisions a future where its impact extends to countless counties and states. They are seeking an inaugural Executive Director to help shape the future of the organization, built on an already solid foundation. This role offers a chance to lead and inspire a passionate team, develop innovative programs, and make a profound impact on the lives of young readers. Reporting to the Board of Directors, the Executive Director will set the vision and strategic direction, creating a lasting legacy of leading J3 in its mission to transform the lives of children through literacy nationally.
This exciting leadership role involves strategic planning, fundraising, oversight of program development and implementation, team leadership, and building partnerships with schools, community organizations, and donors. The Executive Director will be instrumental in helping J3 expand its reach in Los Angeles County and ultimately other cities across the country.
