Thank you for supporting ProJeCt! Together we can build a better community by helping people to help themselves!

 

ProJeCt’s mission is to “build a better community by helping people help themselves.” We prepare people to succeed in work, school, and life by providing them with support and instruction in the skills needed to break the cycle of poverty and achieve their goals. Your gift will help low-income families increase their economic mobility and become self-reliant, contributing members of our community.

You can choose to give to either or both of our approved programs:

• Pre-Kindergarten Program (PKSO): Children of parents with low literacy skills have a 72% chance of being at the lowest reading levels, and in Pennsylvania, 82% of children whose parents do not have a high school degree live in low-income families.  ProJeCt’s Pre-K program serves only low-income children and parents. The goal of the program is to prepare children for success in school through a literacy-rich curriculum and high quality, developmentally-appropriate instruction.

• SIZZLE!® (EIO): ProJeCt’s SIZZLE!® program is a free summer literacy day camp for low-income, at-risk children in grades K-5. Children from low-income families lose, on average, more learning specifically in reading comprehension and word recognition over the summer than children from higher-income families. SIZZLE!®, a trademarked program of ProJeCt, helps children “learn to read” so that they can  “read to learn.” The goal of the program is to increase or maintain reading scores in order to decrease the adverse effects of the “summer slide” learning loss.
