I'm thrilled to support ExpandED Schools in their new initiative Lit C.R.E.W., a dynamic literacy program that integrates reading and writing into hands-on projects. A critical lever for these activities is the Starter Literacy Game Kit, designed to spark excitement, creativity and collaboration! ExpandED Schools has more than 20 program sites and we want to make sure each one has its very own kit – with items like vocabulary cards, literacy games, mini whiteboards and more!

Will you pitch in to help us ensure every Lit C.R.E.W. site is empowered to make literacy learning fun and engaging? Every dollar makes a difference!

For over 25 years, ExpandED Schools has been dedicated to ensuring that afterschool enrichment becomes a staple for every student in NYC. They have 23 active initiatives supporting young people in reading, math, STEM, career exploration, and more -- and 1.6 million students have been reached since 1998. Whether it’s reading groups or robotics clubs, ExpandED Schools makes learning more engaging during and beyond the school day. ExpandED Schools isn’t just a name. It’s a promise to give students more time, more attention, and more opportunity.

I began my career at ExpandED Schools and have been so thrilled to be part of this incredible organization again as a member of its Junior Board. I hope you'll support their amazing work!
