Literacy impacts every aspect of a child’s future, including employment opportunities. On average, a low-income household has between zero and three age-appropriate books for children. One Joplin is on a mission to change that statistic for Joplin households.
One Joplin facilitates communication and collaboration among regional organizations in the areas of Education and Literacy, Health, and Poverty. The Education and Literacy Team is asking for assistance in gathering supplies to support early childhood and youth literacy. Donated items will be used in Parents as Teachers home visits. Books will be distributed to area families with information about children and adult literacy resources.
