Kim Booker, Carmen Correa, Dreamer Parents, and Tristan Wilson, Program Assistant
Parents and staff of "I Have A Dream" - NY East Harlem attended Literacy, Inc.'s Very Involved Parent (VIP) Academy to become Reading Ambassadors in the community. Throughout the workshops, the IHDF-NY Team learned about the importance of literacy-rich communities, gained the tools necessary to coordinate their own reading events, as well as the skills and tips necessary to encourage young readers. On April 4, 2014, these three inspiring, parent leaders graduated from Literacy, Inc.'s VIP Academy and will begin their own reading events with IHDF-NY East Harlem Dreamers on May 7th. We're so proud of them!
