Mission
APPALREAD's mission is to help children and families in southern West Virginia gain the literacy skills they need to succeed in life.

Vision
APPALREAD envisions a world where every child has a love of reading and the literacy skills they need to succeed in life and family members will have opportunities for life long learning that assists them in their ongoing personal vocational development leading to economic self-sufficiency and educational enrichment. We envision communities that are able to support families to be their children's best teacher. We believe this is the cornerstone for a vibrant economically independent West Virginia.
