Kindergarten Readiness Program
United Way of Youngstown and Mahoning Valley provides resources, including a readiness bag, for a four-week summer program for children entering Kindergarten. This program addresses literacy skills, but also helps the children adapt to the new environment of being in school.
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library
Children who live in homes with access to age-appropriate books will be more likely to read at their grade level reading skills on time. However, children living in poverty do not have easy access to books. Imagination Library helps change that by delivering a free, high-quality, age-appropriate book to the child’s home from birth to age 5. Under this initiative, we work closely with partner agencies to register children as early as birth.
