Co-Author  Summer Project

The Glow Project, which stands for "Growing Literacy Awareness Opportunity," is an incredible initiative designed to empower youth aged 8 to 13 by involving them in a co-author project to publish their first book

Boosts Confidence and Self-expression:

Participating in the Glow Project allows young minds to express themselves creatively and contribute to a tangible achievement publishing a book! This experience not only enhances their communication skills but also instills a sense of pride and accomplishment that builds their self-confidence.

Encourages a Lifelong Love for Literacy:

By actively engaging in writing and storytelling, this project fosters a deep appreciation for reading and writing. It opens doors to imagination, critical thinking, and comprehension, which are essential skills that can benefit them academically and beyond.

As the youth come together to co-author their book, they learn the value of teamwork, sharing ideas, and constructive feedback. These are vital social skills that prepare them for future collaborative environments in education and life
