YMCA Literacy International Project thanks Clark PP Students




The YMCA of Greater St. Louis is an active member of the World Alliance, the World Urban Network, and the YMCA of the USA. They were in need of inserts to be used as a part of their YMCA Literacy volunteer training manual. These inserts will be used to teach their volunteers about the counties the YMCA of the USA supports.  This manual will be seen by hundreds of individuals who provide literacy services to St. Louis families. Some Clark PP students researched the following countries: Belize, Columbia, Porto Alegre, South Africa, Ukraine and Temuco, Chile for the Y's inserts. Students researched and included information about the countries demographics, celebrations, foods, challenges, schooling and other interesting facts.
Michelle Peeler, the committee chairperson of the organization, wrote the students thank you letters.
