Project Title: Gus Bus
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
According to the 2018 Census, 23.3% of Harrisonburg citizens live in poverty. A recent ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) report states that 65% of families with children here have income below the ALICE threshold level; this is 28% more than the state average. A family\u2019s financial limits can make it difficult for parents to provide support that will aid in their children\u2019s education, such as books and supplemental literacy activities.
\nOur mobile classrooms regularly visit the areas where most families have financial and\/or transportation barriers to instruction like ours\u2014instruction that inspires creativity, promotes social-emotional growth, and improves educational achievement. The Gus Bus takes literacy on the road to meet historically marginalized students and families where they live, bringing high quality children\u2019s literature right into the heart of their neighborhoods.
\nThroughout most of the school year and summer months, the Gus Bus provides weekly or twice-weekly programming at each of our neighborhood stops. Currently, we serve more than 425 students in 19 unique neighborhoods with mobile-classroom visits, school-based programs, and in-home tutoring programs. The Gus Bus has been delivering books and resources to low-income neighborhoods since 2003.<\/p>\n
