Third Thursday Business Builder: It Takes a Village – Building a Literate Community Together

Join us for an engaging panel discussion featuring local nonprofit and community leaders as we explore how businesses, schools, nonprofits, and community members can work together to improve literacy outcomes across the CSRA.

Our panel will discuss the current state of student literacy in our region, why literacy is critical to developing a strong future workforce, and the initiatives already making a difference. Attendees will also learn about volunteer opportunities, corporate partnerships, and practical ways businesses can support local students by adopting a school, classroom, or reading program.

Together, we can help build a more literate, educated, and prosperous community—because it truly takes a village.
