Young, Black & Lit is partnering with teachers across the country to provide support for their students during this unprecedented time. We are providing books to help students build their home libraries and WE NEED YOUR HELP!
How Does It Work:
1. A teacher will identify a set of books from Young, Black & Lit's Book Bank to provide to each of their students;
2. Young, Black & Lit will create a fundraising page to raise money to provide the books at no cost to the students or their families;
3. Teachers will share the page with their personal networks. Spread the word. Raise money. Reach the goal!
4. Young, Black & Lit will mail books directly to each student once the fundraising goal has been met!

King Arts Elementary,
Evanston, IL
I have the best group of students ever! The children in my class LOVE to read and get excited when they have the chance to get a new book! This group of students definitely likes a lot of the fantasy/sci-fi/superhero stuff (as do I!) but they also like realistic and historical fiction too.

Pre-K Class
JEH Early Childhood Center, Evanston, IL
My Pre-k Classroom at the JEH is a multi-cultural space. All students see themselves consistently mirrored in staff, instructional and developmental material, and experience bias-free adult interactions and curriculum.

Kindergarten Class
Learn 7 Elementary,
Chicago, IL
During this remote learning period, It is important to me to keep my scholars excited about reading and connected to characters that resemble them. It is my desire to provide more books for my students so that they can welcome these characters into their homes this summer! Please help us support their learning by contributing to our fundraising goal.

Kindergarten Class
C.A. Weis Elementary,
Pensacola, FL
I teach kindergarten to an amazing, and deserving group of littles who love books! Right now, many of them only have access to the 2-3 books we were able to send home with them when we started "distance learning". Getting books into their hands right now would be amazing.

Welcome to our page! I’m proud to introduce my incredible group of young learners to you. In our PreK classroom, we are continuously busy exploring together, whether it is at the science discovery table, hands deep in the sensory box, or cuddling up together with a good book.
Mrs. Pattion's
Pre-K Class
Dunbar Elementary,
Memphis, TN
My classroom is geared to upholding a family-oriented environment in which students have fun, develop positive social skills, and take academic risks without feeling discouraged. Our students although faced with poverty and other barriers at such a young age, they are simply amazing.
JEH Early Childhood Center, Evanston, IL
Our lovely 3, 4 and 5 young students would benefit from having two quality bilingual books, where they can see themselves reflected in the books and enjoy reading with their families at home.
Please help us by donating any amount to Young, Black and Lit.

2nd Grade Class
DC Bilingual Public Charter School,
Washington DC
I have taught 2nd grade for the past 5 years and have seen great connection with my students when they are able to see themselves in the books that they read. Enhancing my library and seeing their hopes realized is all I want for my students and their journeys through reading.

I have been fortunate enough to teach the best group of pre-K students around. They are loving, intelligent, kind, and very supportive of their teachers and friends. All of them love books and making up their own stories. Great literature is what has bonded us this school year.

Hi, my name is Carrie Swan, and I teach at King Arts in Evanston, IL. I am Evanston born and raised, and would love to see my community of family and friends support the love of reading for my students!

I teach an amazing group of 18 Kindergartners! They enjoy reading and being read to. We have a special section in our library called "Just Like Me" that mirrors the students in my class. I would love for them to have books that are "Just Like Me" with them at home as well. Thank you!
