To promote the mission of developing youth leaders who are agents of social change, SCALE is partnering with Youth Service America for Global Youth Service Day to engage youth from kindergarten through college in service and literacy activities. This event will serve to connect literacy organizations around the state, allowing for greater collaboration, and sharing of resources and expertise, which will maximize their impact in local communities.
Events include:
- A book drive – supports the goal of expanding access to high quality literacy materials (Having as few as 20 books in the home has a significant impact on propelling a child to a higher level of education, and the more books you add, the greater the benefit. According to a 20-year study led by Mariah Evans, University of Nevada, Reno Associate Professor of Sociology and Resource Economics).
This book drive will kick off January 31st and run through Saturday, April 21st, the Community Day of Reading.
