About Us
On the Same Page Boston is a student-run advocacy campaign working to narrow literacy disparity in Boston Public Schools. Every semester, OTSPB partners with a teacher at a Boston Public School while creating a campaign to let the greater Boston community learn how they can donate diverse and inclusive books for the students.​
We are passionate about getting students a diverse array of books that represent their identities. Exposure to representational books improves
self-esteem, interest in reading, and language skills.
​
Every child deserves the opportunity to be a part of a story.
As of Spring 2024, On The Same Page has distributed a total of 6,920 books to 7 different public schools in the Boston area, serving a total of 3,717 students.
193 Emerson College students have gained hands-on experience through participation with On The Same Page.
