Education Campaign:
The Northgate Chamber of Commerce has intiated an Education Campaign that is designed to “create value” for the community by bringing together organizations to emphasize education in the Northgate community.
The Education Campaign consists of three components:
1) Helping Northgate Find Its Way
2) Lifetime of Literacy
3) Northgate Education Festival
This campaign is just one of many activities that reflect the chamber’s vision of serving as the “heart of Northgate” in action.
Lifetime of Literacy: The project is designed to create value, through a collaborative community effort, within the Northgate community by enhancing literacy and civic engagement for students and families of Northgate Elementary School and other families in the Northgate Area by providing them with specific tools and resources to enhance their quality of life.
The students/families of Northgate Elementary School represent a diverse group with a unique set of challenges. The schools demographics reflect a population with over 12 different languages and 81% of families living below the poverty line. Due to the extreme level of disparity of the families, the students struggle with the proper resources that they need to excel.
The grant is offering Northgate Elementary School and other local schools the following resources:>
A. Civic Engagement Arts After-School Project - Northgate Elementary
B. Tutorial software for Reading, Math and Language
C. Community Book Drive
D. America's Rising Stars Leadership Program - Available for Northgate Schools Grades 6-12 through a partnership with The Russell Group. Try the Logo to your left for the America Rising Stars Curriculum.
The combination of these projects is designed to increase family literacy through active participation and to “bring together many for one purpose”, serving as the heart of the community by creating value.
