Description
United Way recognizes the importance of addressing the underlying causes for lack of educational success, poor health, risky behavior and the impact of poverty. One such major cause that is a deterrent to achieving our goals is lack of a broad base of knowledge our children must have in order to build confidence enhances self-esteem, improve academic performance and secure employment. The United Way of Greenbrier Valley (UWGBV) launched a Literacy Initiative in 2015. The focus is increasing the literacy, knowledge and confidence of our youngest citizens by increasing: access to traditional books and e-books; awareness of the importance of reading on a community level; support of increased reading; and grade-level reading skills essential to a child’s continued growth and success in school.
