Happy #FactFilledFriday! Did you know that after taking part in our Adolescent Book Group last year, all 350 participating teens from six of our partner organizations reported that the program broadened their perspective and improved their ability to express themselves?

Check out this feedback a parent shared about our #FamilyLiteracyProgram: “I used to read to her, but I didn’t ask questions like you showed us...Asking questions helped a lot for her understanding. She's gotten really into it and now we take turns telling stories without books.”
