After School Book Clubs

Purpose:
Our After School Book Clubs engage middle school students in reading, writing, and healthy social interactions that instill joy, foster a sense of belonging, collaboration, and exploration. 

Goals:
  • Create a space where students can explore and discuss a variety of literature while focusing on age appropriate development of socio-emotional topics and experiences
  • Engage students with books and activities that respect and acknowledge their diverse cultural backgrounds and experiences
  • Incorporate culturally relevant content and perspectives to create inclusivity and equity
  • Help develop a sense of curiosity that allows students to think independently while taking other's ideas into consideration
  • Provide space for students to express ideas with a variety of creative medium

Connecting to the Future: Books to Action

This summer we're launching an innovative program for rising 11th and 12th graders. We'll start with a book club discussing social justice issues and our community. Students will create a service learning project just for Norristown and implement it with support from college student mentors and NPT staff. We'll end by helping students turn their experience into a college essay and/or include it on their resume and cover letter. Join us for this impactful program!
