Burning Through Pages

This winter and spring, our book club programs served 24 students across our 10Four Youth Center and Montview Boys and Girls Club programs 📚

Together, our students, Peer Leads, and volunteers spent the last few months reading, building confidence, sharing ideas, and creating meaningful connections through stories.

We’re especially grateful for our Peer Leads—Andre, Amber, and Leland—and the volunteers (Ryan and Meagan!) who showed up week after week to help make these sessions engaging, supportive, and fun.

Because of this community:
• Every student received books to keep
• Young readers built confidence
• High school mentors gained leadership experience

Thank you for being part of this work with us 💛

This is a small glimpse into one of our weekly book clubs📚

What you don’t see here:

– the kids who weren’t sure about reading at the start
– the distractions we’re navigating
– the small wins that add up each week

What you do see: kids showing up, settling in, and giving it a shot 💛

We’re really grateful for the mentors and community who make this space possible.
