Extension’s Literacy Link brings evidence-informed literacy and learning opportunities to young children with parents or caregivers involved in local correctional systems. We partner with jails, criminal justice organizations, libraries, and others to foster healthy family relationships by promoting positive, literacy-focused interactions between children and their justice-involved parents and caregivers. We also promote language and literacy skills in children by creating literacy-rich experiences in jail and justice settings that extend into the home.
How your gifts make an impact
Literacy Link emphasizes strengthening relationships between children and their parents and caregivers, which provides an essential buffer against the elevated stress that justice-involved families face.
