Description

Tonia Gilbert is the Executive Director of The Upper Room (or Upper Room KC), a nonprofit literacy center that helps thousands of urban children each year to excel academically, knowing that it starts with an ability to read and write. The center began at Saint Louis Catholic Church over twenty-five years ago and continues under Tonia’s leadership. 

Her background as a lawyer and educator assists in her administrative tasks now. She invites us to join her on December 17 for a holiday event where we can learn more about the good things happening in the center of our city.
