Support Behind the Book

Innovative Literacy Programs for NYC Students

About the Campaign

Behind the Book is tackling the literacy crisis by using a unique approach to increase student interest in reading and writing. We create multidisciplinary programs centered around a diverse book and author and use proven in-class methods to stimulate student motivation, so that students leave our program more excited about books and, ultimately, more engaged in the classroom and beyond. 

By fundraising for our programs, you are having a direct impact on ensuring the next generation is engaged, curious, and ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
