This year BGCTC partnered with Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) to bring additional literacy support to several of our Clubs. One of these dedicated educators, Michelle—who is also a proud Club alum—was thrilled to return and contribute to the opportunities that shaped her own journey.
Michelle worked closely with young people at the Southside Village Club, providing targeted literacy support through one-on-one and small group sessions. With her guidance, all participants made significant progress. Michelle was particularly proud of several Spanish-speaking youth who successfully mastered every letter they studied over the summer. To celebrate their hard work and achievements, each youth received a book at the end of the summer.
BGCTC’s Literacy Program is the cornerstone of our K-12 Academic Success continuum. We are deeply grateful for our new partnership with MPS that is helping youth build the literacy skills they need for a successful school year ahead.
