A Wallmart Foundation comprometeu-se com $1.5 milhões para distribuir pelos Boys & Girls Clubs no âmbito da sua inicitiva de apoio à leitura - "Bright Spot for Reading”. Os Clubes que já receberam ajuda financeira, abriram mais uma sala de leitura ou adquiriram livros, revistas e Kindles. Atualmente existem 100 destes clubes e só no Arkansas há 7 que envolvem mais de 7 300 jovens.
The Bright Spot Reading Center will feature books geared at youth ages 11 to 15 and will include programming to encourage adolescents to read more and develop a more positive attitude toward reading. Programming will include activities in drama, art and technology; field trips and service learning projects in order to create reading opportunities in every area of the Club.
“The Walmart Foundation’s Bright Spot for Reading Initiative is essential in preparing youth for academic and life success,” continued Shelby Kriz, Director of Education, “We are grateful to The Walmart Foundation for the opportunity to create an environment that will encourage and allow our youth to enjoy and develop an affinity for reading.”
