BBC aims to assist and support schools and teachers in their efforts to address the alarming rates of illiteracy present in our nation’s youth, by organizing and equipping community members to mentor elementary students during weekly lunchtime Book Clubs. It is our hope that students exceed their grade requirements for literacy, and that BBC and its volunteers make a significant impact on local, and then national, school drop-out rates, crime, and poverty. We are currently serving schools across Oklahoma and growing.
