The Right to Read program at ACC is part of the Every1Reads Initiative.  Piloted in 2006-07 with funding from Metro United Way/Office of Youth Development, the program expanded and served 58 youth last year with additional funding from the Gheens Foundation.  "Right to Read" is an incentive based literacy program that includes students filling out personal goal sheets in the areas of reading, behavior, and attendance.   If they complete their goals, they get to participate in an incentive activity such as a field trip or pizza party.  We continue to have enthusiastic students become involved and engaged in a passion for reading. Volunteers to serve as reading tutors are always needed and welcomed, and free training is offered.  For more information contact Carey at carey@americanacc.org.
