91¿´Æ¬ (NCC) has been dedicated to empowering families to improve their lives for 56 years.

Education has always been a cornerstone for NCC. We have changed the lives of countless children through our early learning centers and Youth Services programs. Now we are embarking on a literacy initiative to ensure children in our early learning centers build upon that educational foundation and can read at grade level by the end of third grade.

Beginning in January, 91¿´Æ¬ will partner with 40 families from our early learning centers as they navigate their educational journey, providing children with one book per month, quarterly family meetings, and tutoring support as needed. Staff will also meet with parents and follow children’s progress through elementary school. Scholarships will be offered to children who remain in the program through the end of third grade.

We are excited to start this program and see our young scholars blossom in elementary school. But we can’t do it alone.

Your gift will help us provide essential reading material to the children to help foster a love of reading and build our scholarship fund.

Please join the 91¿´Æ¬ family this Giving Tuesday and help children unlock the power of reading and improve their skills. We appreciate your support and wish you and your family a joyous holiday season!
