Overview
Read to Launch a Future is a 21-day reading challenge that inspires a love of learning while helping create educational opportunities for homeschool students across Colorado through the True North Freedom Fund.
Unlike a traditional Read-A-Thon, students are encouraged to explore topics connected to their interests, gifts, and future aspirations through the True North Pathways framework.
Every minute read helps another homeschool student move from Curiosity → Exploration → Pathway → Purpose.
Optional: Explore a Pathway
Students may choose one or more educational pathways that align with their interests, gifts, and future goals.
Participation in the Pathway Reading Challenge is completely optional. Students are encouraged to log all reading completed during the challenge—including homeschool curriculum reading, independent reading, family read-alouds, audiobooks, research projects, biographies, educational magazines, articles, and pathway-related resources.
As students log their normal reading, they can also explore topics connected to a pathway of interest through books, biographies, articles, and educational resources.
Explore the Pathways
Aviation — Explore flight, aerospace, aviation history, engineering, exploration, and the stories of pilots and innovators
Entrepreneurship — Discover business, innovation, leadership, economics, and entrepreneurship
Design & Architecture — Explore architecture, design, art, urban planning, and creative problem-solving
STEM — Dive into science, technology, engineering, robotics, mathematics, and problem-solving
Trades — Learn about construction, welding, manufacturing, automotive careers, skilled trades, and hands-on learning
Ministry & Leadership — Study faith, leadership, service, missions, character development, and serving others and making a positive impact.
The Pathway Reading Challenge provides an opportunity for students to move beyond curiosity, explore new possibilities, and discover educational pathways that may shape their future purpose and calling.
Your FAMILY’s Impact
The True North Freedom Fund exists to create educational opportunities. Funds raised through the challenge support:
Discovery Grants: Helping students explore emerging interests through camps, workshops, field experiences, museum memberships, and introductory learning opportunities.
Community Access Grants: Helping families participate in educational experiences that might otherwise be financially out of reach.
Pathway Scholarships: Helping students pursue focused educational pathways aligned with their interests, gifts, and future goals.
Legacy Scholarships: Helping students take significant next steps toward college, career, entrepreneurship, ministry, leadership, aviation, trades, certifications, and vocational advancement.
Core Message
Students are not simply reading to raise money. They are reading to help themselves and other homeschool students discover their gifts, explore opportunities, pursue meaningful pathways, and prepare for their future calling. Every minute read helps another student move from: Curiosity → Exploration → Pathway → Purpose.
