Celebrate Literacy Month Part 2 – What can our Club do?
Rotary clubs and districts celebrate Rotary Literacy
Month in many different ways. Some clubs invite speakers to discuss literacy
and education issues that are important to their communities, some clubs plan
literacy and education related service activities, and other clubs plan large
community campaigns to encourage literacy. Planning is crucial and many clubs
appoint a special literacy committee at the beginning of each Rotary year to
plan and coordinate literacy events during Rotary Literacy Month and throughout
the year.
Some ideas for Rotary Literacy Month activities include:
Raising awareness about literacy and education
·
Arrange
for club members to visit local schools, universities, libraries, and tutoring
centers to learn about your community’s literacy and education resources.
·
Invite
local literacy or education experts like teachers, school administrators,
government education officers, and university professors, to speak at your
club’s meeting about local, regional, or international literacy and education
issues.
·
Facilitate
a discussion session at your club’s meeting about literacy and education in
your community.
Take action for literacy by:
·
Launch
a new literacy project during Rotary Literacy Month
·
Work
with existing literacy providers to plan a literacy project
·
Arrange
for club members to volunteer at a tutoring center
·
Begin
a student mentoring program
·
Encourage
local businesses to offer education opportunities for employees
·
Start
an adult education program at a local school or community center
·
Conduct
a teacher training event for your district
·
Conduct
a literacy awareness campaign in your community
·
Donate
books for a community library, school supplies for under privileged students,
or teaching materials for underprivileged schools
Celebrate literacy
·
Arrange
a community award to recognize contributions to literacy and education
·
Hold
a literacy ball to raise money for literacy programs in your community
·
Conduct
an essay contest to encourage writing among students in your community
