On Monday, our Executive Director Rick Cartlidge had the opportunity to appear on First Coast Living to discuss the grant we received this past year from the Meninak Club of Jacksonville. We used this grant to create a new tutoring room, helping us expand our tutoring services and accommodate larger group sizes. We are so grateful for First Coast Living for the opportunity to share the impact this generous gift made on our program. Thank you Meninak Club Of Jacksonville for all of the incredible work you make happen with your yearly grant; you are truly making a difference in the Jacksonville community!

We are so excited to have our teachers on site once a week to continue our Readers are Leaders literacy program throughout the summer. These classes help ensure the campers are continuing their progress from the school year, and aren’t losing important learning momentum. Thank you to our teachers for helping us continue to support learning and reading even during the summer! 📚☀️
