To support a Coordinator for the Family Literacy Initiative who builds literacy skills and social and emotional learning for young people attending QCH’s school- and center-based year-round afterschool programs. The initiative engages not just these children but entire families, creating a supportive environment where literacy skills are practiced and integrated into daily life. The Literacy Coordinator will work with afterschool staff to help them to now incorporate the Freedom Schools teaching model (successfully utilized at their two summer program sites) into QCH’s year-round literacy efforts. The Freedom Schools program will better strengthen QCH’s overall-literacy strategies, offering their staff members improved insights and afterschool teaching practices. QCH is a multi-site, community-based settlement house serving low-income families in neighborhoods across the Borough of Queens.
