How We Help
Our Goals & Dreams
The Patriot Legacy Education Foundation wishes to build a strong and diverse portfolio of support that is sufficient to fund the growth plans of Literacy First Charter Schools for the future.
This includes:
- Resources that would support all programs
- Areas of critical needs
- Expansion of programs and facilities
