Council Approves 20,000 Grant for Citywide Literacy Campaign

The Boston City Council approved a $20,000 grant for a citywide Literacy Campaign focused on early literacy for children. Funded by Donor Group, the grant will be administered by the Office of Early Childhood. The campaign aims to encourage families to engage in literacy activities and provide multilingual resources to celebrate the city's diversity. With the Council's approval, the city can now implement the campaign and utilize the funds to enhance literacy opportunities. This initiative is part of a broader effort to improve educational resources and support families across Boston.

The campaign not only promotes reading but also seeks to foster a community-wide commitment to literacy. City officials believe this program will have a lasting impact on children's educational outcomes. By prioritizing early literacy, Boston aims to cultivate a culture of reading that benefits its diverse population.
