While there are other organizations in the U.S. that use the Ujima name, we are a parent non-profit organization focused on language and literacy in Springfield, Missouri.

Our program is designed for children, birth-11 years old.

While we have volunteers on staff who have experience working with students with disabilities, we do not offer diagnostic testing.

Your donation allows all children to attend free of charge! Donations pay for monthly and summer literacy programming, diverse children's books, and family dinners.
