Each year we provide transportation, lunch and a free book to hundreds of students that would otherwise not be able to come to the festival.

YALLWEST has provided free books, transportation, and lunch to over 10,000 students from around 60 underserved schools in LA County since 2015 and organized school visits for over 2,000.

Over $200,000 has gone directly to students via our Schools Program to further our mission of getting books into the hands of children and saying the words that will get them to open them.

YALLWEST partners with The Book Truck to give every sponsored student a free book of their choosing. The Book Truck staff and volunteers are trained to help kids find a book that speaks to them, so every student can feel confident and excited about their choice— even if it’s their first time picking out their own book!
