Project Title: Summer Reading Challenge
Project Description:

The Summer Reading Challenge will serve up to 30 youth ages 8-13 years old. It will promote literacy in underprivileged neighborhoods of Sacramento, CA. The goal is to have each youth read at least 6 books during the summer. We want to continue to promote literacy skills, self-confidence, and a love of reading. The impact of our Summer Reading Program is to prevent summer slide. It is valuable to students that don’t get to read or do little reading during the Summer. We will encourage them that reading can become a lifelong habit. It will not only have a positive impact on the youth, but it will also reach the parents and others in their families which can help underserved communities with summer slide. The challenge will include virtual weekly check-ins and monthly in-person meetings. Youth will read diverse books and have an opportunity to win prizes.

Total Project Budget: 12000
