While November is National Family Literacy Month, the Coalition celebrates reading all year long! This is the perfect time to encourage the joy of reading and help children build a lifelong love of books. The New Worlds Reading Program makes it easy for families to spark that love at home!

Through this free program, eligible children recieve a new book each month, delivered right to their door. Every story is designed to inspire curiosity, imagination, and confidence in young readers.

Join us in celebrating this month and explore how New Worlds Reading can open up a world of possibilities for your child!

This April, and all year long, we invite you to participate in Child Abuse Prevention through the Stand Up for Children awareness campaign. Together, we can foster strong families, create safe environments, and ensure every child grows up healthy, loved, and protected.

This month, we will be sharing valuable resources and information to help raise awareness about child abuse prevention. We encourage you to take part in this campaign by learning about the signs of abuse, understanding how to report concerns, and promoting positive parenting practices.
