Located in Ellijay, Georgia, the mission of Kids Ferst is to improve childhood literacy in Gilmer County by registering kids to receive a quality, age-specific book each month from the Ferst Readers program.
Kids Ferst in Gilmer began in 2007 as the local chapter of the Ferst Readers Foundation - a 501.c.3 non-profit foundation which distributes carefully selected books and learning materials for children age 5 and under.
Kids Ferst and the Ferst Readers program share a vision to create better learners, brighter futures, and a stronger community by giving every child under five access to quality books in their homes.
