JOINING TOGETHER FOR THE PASSION OF READING!
Through collaboration with schools, private businesses, and community organizations; with parents and guardians, local governments, and school districts as well as other community stakeholders, YLP can be a catalyst for improving the literacy rates among children and young adults throughout the northwest regions. And with our Financial Literacy Model we can have future economic impact.
Awareness Campaign (cont’d)
A stepping-stone to achieving our purpose is the Book Drives in which we collect books (both new and recycled) from members of the community. The community is made aware of the need for the books through a public outreach campaign including, paid for television commercials, social media campaigns, printed publications, public service announcements and of course word of mouth.
The implementation of the Awareness Campaign and Book Drives are strategic and take place during seasons when they offer the best chance of success such as mid to late spring or during the fall.
The financing of the campaign is through the contribution of YLP’s private partners who provide funding for the TV spots and gain the public relations benefit as well as the positive engagement of its workforce. In addition to the public relations benefits there are other practical aspects, such as the long-term benefits of improving the prospects for a literate workforce.
