founder story
Lit4Kids as part of Mika Ramezani's leadership story.
Mika founded Lit4Kids after becoming concerned about educational gaps affecting elementary students who did not always have access to additional academic support. She began with literacy-focused workshops and later incorporated hands-on STEM activities after seeing how strongly students responded to active learning.
The program also became a vehicle for student leadership. Mika helped recruit and train high school volunteers to teach, mentor, and lead workshops, creating a structure intended to continue beyond a single founder.
Lit4Kids now represents one of the clearest examples of Mika's broader interests coming together: education, service, communication, leadership, and program building.
