Sponsoring literacy events for children

Community College of Vermont - VT, Vermont
President: BARBARA MURPHY

As part of National Volunteer Week and Vermont Higher Education Week, four CCV sites sponsored literacy events for children. Local area authors, America Reads partners and literacy advocates engaged children through sharing books and making projects. Book donations were collected at each site to contribute to the America Reads program hosted by six CCV sites. All of these activities point to longer term, active sharing and planning with community partners throughout the state.

We want to develop a student leadership program to provide support to our local agencies with the majority of work being done recruiting campus organizations to serve at various sites. The Campus Compact material was the most useful resource thus far. Thank you!"
