Teen Read2Lead
A six to eight-week course that promotes character building through literacy and encourages reading as a path to achieve goals and realize dreams. Teen participants receive a certificate of achievement upon completion of the program. The small classes are co-led by a Literacy Pros Board Member and a local law enforcement officer and include a mentoring component to identify how to best help and encourage the students. Teen Read2Lead is available to any organization focused on helping students improve literacy skills as a path to success.
