Read Alliance

Last week marked the end of our Summer Program and we could not be prouder of our striving readers and teen leaders on another successful program especially during these continued uncertain times. Thank you to all of our generous supporters as well!

This week, we hosted a workshop and invited @ReadAlliance's #TeenLeaders to talk about all things #marketing and how to activate digital campaigns. Thank you to everyone who came. We enjoyed hearing from young voices!

Thank you @ReadAlliance for recognizing us with the Trailblazer Award for Corporate Social Responsibility for our joint effort with @UWBerks to bring your dual impact program to @RDGschools! You can learn more about Read Alliance here: readalliance.org
