Youth Literacy Council
The Redwood City Youth Literacy Council consists of 9 teenage members from area high schools who work with libraries, schools, and library foundations to increase literacy rates in the community.
Youth for Literacy
A club called Youth for Literacy is an extension of the Youth Literacy Council. This club consists of additional members that conduct literacy and other charity work in the community. These club members need not be on the Council Board to participate.
Our Mission
The Youth Literacy Council will:
· create programs that promote literacy, a good environment within the family to promote literacy, and programs that assist youth in doing well in school such as STEM classes;
· provide libraries and library foundations feedback on needs in the community;
· gather volunteers to support fairs, events, and fundraisers that support literacy;
· recruit volunteers for literacy programs;
· run book and board game drives to support literacy programs and donations to children in the community, and
· coordinate with businesses and the community to partner with programs;
· provide other support as needed.
