PROJECTS AND PARTNERS

Projects

We work with a number of projects in the area to stay involved in our community and give our students the best opportunities we can.

The Campaign for Grade-Level Reading

The Campaign is a collaborative effort by foundations, nonprofit partners, business leaders, government agencies, states and communities across the nation to ensure that more children in low-income families succeed in school and graduate prepared for college, a career, and active citizenship. The Campaign focuses on an important predictor of school success and high school graduation—grade-level reading by the end of third grade. We work with families, schools, and childcare services to help children reach this important literacy benchmark.

The National Digital Inclusion Alliance

The National Digital Inclusion Alliance is a unified voice for home broadband access, public broadband access, personal devices and local technology training and support programs. At Orange Literacy, we help our students increase their digital literacy to more easily use computers in their everyday lives.

Church World Services

Church World Services assists in the process of applying for citizenship through legal and logistical advisement. We at Orange Literacy provide English language instruction and citizenship-related ESOL classes. 

The North Carolina Engagement and Leadership Coalition

The Coalition for Family Engagement and Leadership seeks to better the collaborative relationship between parents and early childhood systems, programs, providers, family caregivers, and community service providers to promote positive, enduring change for children, families, and communities. Through the Coalition, families have access to a year-long workshop to assist parents in increasing their access to resources which aid in raising their children in a nurturing environment. Orange Literacy helps these parents by teaching about the importance of at-home literacy, as well as providing educational services to parents.
