ABCLC Communication and Marketing Specialist - Year 1 VISTA

This project will break the cycle of poverty by allowing the accessibility of learning programming to more families whose children are not connected to the educational opportunities needed to successfully participate in society. AB Christian Learning Center in collaboration with Read Fort Worth is helping to ensure that all children are ready to learn when they enter kindergarten, and reading on grade level by third grade. This VISTA project will result in an expansion of services to at-risk communities with the intent to increase the number of economically disadvantaged families transitioning from poverty to self-sufficiency.
