SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Vincent Brancato: 'For the Love of Reading: My Own Book Fund'
DESCRIPTION:In-person and online! \nMy Own Book\, a non-profit co-managed by the New York Society for Ethical Culture’s Social Service Board\, brings 3rd graders from underserved NYC schools to bookstores and lets them pick out $60 worth of books to start their own home library. With books that they chose themselves close at hand\, children pick them up and read them repeatedly\, and in the process become better readers. \nMOBF volunteers visit their assigned school to explain the program to both staff and students\, then accompanies the children on their shopping trips\, helping them pick out books that are just right for them. Lastly\, they do a follow-up visit to the school 2-4 weeks later to hear all about what the students have been reading. \nMOBF President Vince Brancato will explain the origin and goals of the program – it’s structure and methodology – and the opportunities and needs within the program. \nAbout Vince \nMOBF President Vincent Brancato is retired from an industrial career\, mostly in the steel industry.
