Executive Team
Kyle Zimmer
President, CEO, and Co-Founder
In the late 1980s, Kyle Zimmer, then a practicing attorney, was volunteering at a soup kitchen in Washington, D.C.
Realizing that the kids she was working with had no books in their lives, she set out with two friends to build a market-driven solution to ensure all children have access to high-quality books and educational resources.
Since then, First Book, the nonprofit social enterprise she co-founded in 1992, has become a leader in furthering equal access to quality education. First Book’s work is driven by educators in the First Book Network – North America’s largest online community of individual educators, professionals and volunteers working on the frontlines with children in need at schools and programs.
Under her leadership, First Book has grown into a family of social enterprises that addresses a spectrum of educational barriers faced by children in need.
