Achievement Centers for Children & Families Launches Literacy Campaign Connecting Community Leaders with Young Readers

The Achievement Centers for Children & Families has launched its "Fall in Love with Literacy" campaign, an initiative designed to foster a love of reading among the community's youngest learners while building meaningful connections with local leaders. This fall-themed campaign invites dignitaries, educators, and community champions to spend 30 minutes reading to children in the Center's early learning classrooms.

Guests participating in the program are encouraged to bring a favorite book or choose from a curated selection of age-appropriate titles available on-site. After the story time session with toddlers and preschoolers, guests are invited to take an optional tour of the nationally accredited facility. Stephanie Seibel, CEO of the Achievement Centers, emphasized that "This is about more than reading—it's about connection, community, and planting the seeds of literacy."

The campaign serves multiple purposes beyond simply promoting literacy. It functions as a platform to highlight the Achievement Centers' work and lay the groundwork for future partnerships and funding opportunities. Palm Beach County School Board Member Erica Whitfield is among the first community leaders to join the effort, with additional visits being scheduled throughout the fall season.

The Achievement Centers for Children & Families serves over 760 local children and families at three locations in Delray Beach: Nancy K. Hurd Campus, Village Academy, and Pine Grove Elementary. The organization provides comprehensive educational programs including Early Learning (Toddler and Preschool), After School, Teen, and Summer Camp programs that help prepare children for academic and social success. More information about their programs can be found at https://www.achievementcentersFL.org.

Family strengthening services are embedded within the organization's four core programs and are open to the public. These services benefit the community by stabilizing families in crisis and supporting them to serve as the foundation of their child's growth. The "Fall in Love with Literacy" campaign represents a strategic approach to community engagement that combines educational objectives with relationship-building opportunities that could lead to sustained support for the organization's mission.

By bringing community leaders directly into educational settings, the campaign creates authentic connections between decision-makers and the children who benefit from the Achievement Centers' programs. This approach not only promotes literacy but also demonstrates the tangible impact of the organization's work, potentially influencing future community support and partnership opportunities that could expand the reach of their educational services.
