Partner Spotlight: P.S. 236 X and the Leon Lowenstein Foundation
When looking at what it means to provide and receive comprehensive, high-touch literacy support, look no further than P.S. 236 in the Bronx! With the generous support of the Leon Lowenstein Foundation, our team collaborated with P.S. 236 educators over the last year and a half in what will be a two-year model to couple intervention services (provided largely by the school’s paraprofessionals) with support for finetuning core literacy instruction.
Partner Spotlight: GO Project
Over the last two years Literacy Trust has been working with nonprofit partner GO Project to add critical literacy intervention programming to their early reading supports.
Summer Partnership Spotlight: Chinese-American Planning Council
This summer, Literacy Trust partnered with the Chinese American Planning Council (CPC). CPC’s mission is to “promote the social and economic empowerment of Chinese American, immigrant, and low-income communities,” and the organization has been vital to COVID-recovery efforts in Lower Manhattan and around the city. CPC has a deep relationship with our longtime school partner P.S. 2 in Chinatown, offering after-school enrichment for students and robust support for families and the broader community.
