To meet the needs of all young learners, organizational practices must support
literacy development in ways that systematically impact learning
throughout elementary schools,
early childhood learning centers, and other
literacy - oriented learning environments and programs.
With support from the National Black Child
Development Institute, the Cleveland Affiliate will implement health and wellness, family empowerment, and
literacy programs, and partner with local schools,
early childhood education centers, parents, and caregivers to provide resources to address key issues facing Black children and families
throughout Cleveland and surrounding communities in Cuyahoga County through education and advocacy.
