2023 Spring Reading Program

Our hands-on approach aims to stir the imaginations and creativity of children. Our one-hour long readings and activities are led by AAPI teens of Westchester County under the tutelage of retired Lakeland school teacher Betsy Kates. These high school student-run youth events focus on empowering all children in the spirit of diversity and inclusion. Every time we see a child walk away more confident in their identity, we feel inspired!

All children's readings and activities are free of charge and take place at
Hudson Valley Books for Humanity bookstore in Ossining, New York unless stated otherwise. We will open registration via Eventbrite shortly. Thank you for your patience! 

To learn more about our teen leaders and their training or to join as a youth program leader, please reach out to us here
