These students collaborate with local community partners to provide free dance and literacy activities for children aged 3 to 9 in their communities. The organization has developed an innovative curriculum with weekly lesson plans to strengthen literacy skills, build confidence, and incite a passion for learning amongst both mentors and mentees. Since its founding, the organization has helped over 900 children and student leaders. To learn more about Ballet & Books, visit balletandbooks.org.
