Opportunites

Youth Leaders for Literacy is an initiative of the National Education Association (NEA) and Youth Service America (YSA) to help youth plan and implement reading-related service projects. NEA will award 20 grants of $500 each to support literacy projects that begin on NEA's Read Across America Day, March 2, 2007, and culminate on National & Global Youth Service Day, April 20-22, 2007. During these seven weeks and beyond, youth will create a groundswell of literacy service in communities across the country.
