Help Girls Inc. of Orange County (GIOC) girls reach their full reading potential with the our online fundraiser, Dads for Daughters: Invest in Her Future now through Tuesday, June 30th! This fundraiser will support GIOC’s Literacy Lab, a program that strengthens girls’ literacy skills and attitudes towards reading and ensures they do not fall behind academically.
Due to COVID-19, young girls across the country had their school years cut short which, according to educational experts, leads to an average loss of 30 percent of the typical yearly gains in reading. This statistic is likely greater for children that have limited resources, are under stress, and who live in poverty.
The Literacy Lab at GIOC prepares its students to reach the critical grade level in reading and strengthens their literacy skills through lessons in reading comprehension, vocabulary, phonics and more. In a time that’s full of unknowns, reading books provides solace to these at-risk girls. As a result of attending GIOC’s Literacy Lab programs, 97% of participants felt they were better at reading and 95% of parents/caregivers observed increased reading confidence in their daughters.
To sustain these amazing results via a variety of online offerings, Girls Inc. of Orange County needs your support. Donations from this online fundraiser will help the organization improve its virtual Literacy Lab programs and will help Girls Inc. girls to reach their full potentials. Plus, to know that you’ve changed the life of an at-risk child is priceless.
