Community in Crisis and Vital Signs

Read to Lead is a fun, engaging, and relevant way to blast through traditional reading barriers and promote workplace readiness and skill building. By playing our learning games, youth increase reading achievement, find motivation, and see, often for the first time, a real connection between learning, career aspirations, and their futures. Read to Lead is geared for students in 5th - 9th grades and provides a diverse representation of characters to showcase that ALL of our students can be the Boss! Why should you use Read to Lead this summer? Improve literacy through academic enrichment: Each episode of Read to Lead includes 30 minutes of reading time. By completing one of our games, students have read 1 middle grade book! Encourage leadership: In our games, youth are the boss. They make the decisions and lead their diverse staff through a challenging workday. Cultivate youth voice: student-led projects encourage youth to apply their leadership and civic action skills to their community.
