Today, Carnegie Corporation of New York announced a new grant opportunity that will invest $5 million in public libraries to support English language learning and youth programs in U.S. communities.
The new initiative, Libraries
as Pillars of Education and Democracy, will help public libraries deliver critical services that promote socioeconomic mobility, civic participation, and social belonging.
We are prioritizing libraries with existing programs in either of two areas:
-
English language and literacy services for adults that improve English language proficiency and job readiness skills.
-
College readiness and access activities that help teens improve their college preparedness by enhancing academic skills, supporting
students in the college admission process, developing leadership and civic skills, and engaging families in the transition to college.
Learn
more about our criteria for selection and complete our
eligibility survey by
January 10, 2025.
Help us spread the word! Use our
social media toolkit to share the opportunity with your library networks nationwide.
