Boys LitClubs
LitClubs create a sanctuary for men and boys' empowerment through literacy learning. The program is a series of reading and writing workshops for boys that tap into their extraordinary strengths as learners, thinkers and leaders. The workshops provide the tools for successful reading and writing, speaking and listening (the definition of literacy) that are so crucial in this changing world. LitClubs raise the potential for increasing academic performance for every participant.
Using LitWorld's innovative 7 Strengths model, mentorship within the LitClubs encourage boys to build character and create community. The LitClubs inspire boys to read and write to collaborate, communicate, connect, and create new ideas to inspire their own development, and to impact the world.
