Family Services of Central Massachusetts would like to thank the for their continued support of the Summer Literacy Initiative (SLI) with their most recent grant of $40,000. Since 2010, the Summer Literacy Initiative has partnered with summer camp programs operating throughout Worcester, to integrate effective literacy learning strategies that prevent summer learning loss for children entering grades 1-4 each fall. In the Summer of 2022 SLI served 1295 children at 15 partner program sites. Thank you, United Way of Central MA, for partnering with us to ensure at-risk children in our community achieve grade level reading to prepare them for future academic success.
