Help Get Lit-Words Ignite Expand into Middle Schools!
About Get Lit-Words Ignite
For the past 12 years, Get Lit has brought its award-winning curriculum to High Schools across Los Angeles. With more than 8,000 students participating each year, we’ve created a model that increases literacy and transforms lives.
Now it’s time to start earlier and go deeper.
Why Middle Schools
In L.A. County, more than 50% percent of Sixth Grade students will not graduate with the reading proficiency skills they need to live safe, fulfilling, and empowered lives. Middle School students face increasingly high barriers to their success: the suicide rate among 10-14 year-olds has doubled in the past five years, and gangs reach out to youth as early as fourth grade.
What We Can Do
It costs $5,000 to bring Get Lit to one school.
We need $25,000 to transform the education of students in five middle schools across Southern California.
The Get Lit curriculum includes:
Teacher Training- Get Lit teachers will receive 12 hours of Professional Development, as well as multiple mentor visits from Get Lit certified teaching artists.
Curriculum License & Materials- Each middle school will receive a one-year Get Lit curriculum license and accompanying instructional materials.
Performances- We know that young people resonate with people that share their stories. Each school will receive a “BLITZ” performance by the Get Lit Players, our award-winning youth poetry troupe that helps inspire, motivate, and mentor students.
Classic Slam Entry- Each school will receive free entry to perform in Get Lit’s first-ever Middle School Classic Slam, the world’s largest youth classic poetry festival.
