A Literacy Champion is a local educator who has gone above and beyond to improve literacy in our community. At United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona we engage the entire community without regard to race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, age, gender, gender identity & expression, disability, sexual orientation, veteran-status, familial status, or socio-economic status. The Literacy Champion Awards process seeks to create inclusion, diversity, equity, and access for all the amazing educators in our community.
