Homeschooling Cooperative Donates Books to Goodwill Program

Coconut Telegraph

Recently, Goodwill Manasota received a generous donation of more than 200 children’s books from the Sarasota Cooperative Learning Project (SCLP) to fortify the Goodwill Good Readers Program. The Goodwill Good Readers are volunteers who read to students at area Title I schools and then present each child with a book to take home. Since 2013, the Good Readers have read to more than 400 students at Alta Vista Elementary School in Sarasota and have also read and given books to students at The Visible Men Academy in Bradenton. The Goodwill Foundation welcomed the opportunity to forge a new partnership with this community organization in order to support literacy efforts at area schools.
