A progressionista is...
A woman who progresses in life from a love of reading
Our Model
Our library-based book club events feature diverse women professionals (known as progressionistas) and interactive projects related to the group’s next fiction read.
Our progressionistas come from all walks of life and professions ranging from STEM fields to blue collar jobs. Our model aims to inspire girls to become literate, lifelong readers through exposure to women who have read their way toward success.

"I still can't believe my daughter is a part of such a unique program in the inner-city that allows her to see women professionals that look like her and do hands-on activities that engage her with books. My daughter has been in dance, mentor programs and more but Progressionista has most impacted her life. ”
