NEWS & HIGHLIGHTSThe Million Minute ReadGiving Georgia’s Children 1,000,000 Minutes and Countless OpportunitiesWhat is one thing that you can do this year to give children a greater chance to succeed in school? Join in The Junior Leagues of Georgia: Million Minute Read! Reading aloud to children is one of the best ways to facilitate their oral language and vocabulary development. Studies have proven that children who are exposed to a rich vocabulary have a greater chance for success in school. It’s a critical component of early childhood education, and a great opportunity for Junior League volunteers to make a difference! Through our shared commitment to children and their success in school, the Junior League of Atlanta and 11 other Junior Leagues from across the state have partnered to read one million minutes to Georgia’s children this year! Join in this endeavor, and make a lasting impact in the lives of children. The Million Minute Read is being conducted in partnership with Bright from the Start: Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning and their “A Million Dreams and Counting” program. This program celebrates the one millionth child passing through the doors of the Georgia Pre-K program during the fall of 2009. Established in 1993, Bright from the Start provides the state’s four-year-old children with high quality preschool experiences.
OUR MISSIONThe Junior League of Columbus is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable. |
