California Consumer Protection Foundation

The California Consumer Protection Foundation in Oakland, CA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring children have access to high-quality books in the home environment and extensive family engagement support. Through their Always Dream program, they provide Pre-K, TK, and Kindergarten students with a robust library of books and the support of a Book Coach to help parents and caregivers read regularly with their children, aiming to level the playing field and empower families in historically and intentionally-excluded communities.

Kristi Yamaguchi, a mother, children's author, and the driving force behind Always Dream, is passionate about early childhood literacy and the transformative power of reading. The organization focuses on building awareness around the importance of in-home reading and providing access to high-quality books through 21st-century technology. By engaging parents as active participants in their child's everyday learning, Always Dream aims to foster a love of reading that moves children from learning to read to reading to learn, opening doors to new possibilities and dreams.
