Literacy Initiatives
Our literacy programs are designed to foster early literacy skills and combat summer learning loss. We understand the crucial role literacy plays in a child’s development, which is why we offer specialized programs aimed at cultivating strong reading abilities from an early age. Our engaging activities and resources not only enhance literacy but also prevent summer learning loss, ensuring that children maintain and advance their reading skills during the summer. Join us in empowering young minds and building a foundation for lifelong learning through our impactful literacy initiatives.

Programs at the Center are diverse and include support groups, special art offerings, mentoring programs, Pride Café, community service, health initiative classes, parent workshops, financial literacy, tutoring, and career exploration.
