Staples Supports Great Books Readers 2 Leaders
New Service Learning Program Pairs Teens and Younger Students
The Staples Foundation awarded the Great Books Foundation $10,000 to develop Readers 2 Leaders, a service learning program that teaches high school students leadership skills, gives them experience teaching, and affords them an opportunity to explore teaching as a possible career
In Readers 2 Leaders, high school students lead after-school Shared Inquiry discussions with elementary and middle school students in their communities. The older students develop leadership skills and serve as positive role models for the younger children. The younger students also receive the benefits of participating in the Junior Great Books program—reading and discussing outstanding literature.
