DYCD Funded Literacy Program Leaders Cohort

The Literacy Program Leaders cohort is a project designed to build the skills and competencies of CBOs and after school programs committed to high-quality literacy practices. These organizations are expected to appoint two individuals to participate in the cohort and turnkey training to staff within their CBOs.  The cohort goal is to provide Literacy Program Leaders with skills and knowledge required to set-up a literacy program, run it, evaluate it and apply interventions as needed.
