Naomi’s Neighbors began unofficially in 2009 when founder Naomi learned that many of her friends were learning English as a second language and didn’t have any books at home. Back in her hometown of Kentwood, Michigan, five-year-old Naomi began her service efforts by teaching her classmates how to read and practice literacy techniques. 

​

Naomi’s Neighbors mission is to enhance the literacy skills of underserved youth.
