Dancing with the reading stars
Donation protected
Mike and Kristy Spillane are participating in the dancing with the reading stars competition to help raise money for The Yocum Institute for Arts Education . Please donate to help us reach our goal . Every little bit helps:) The Yocum Institute for Arts Education will be hosting Dancing with the Reading Stars on April 22, 2016. Although many do not realize it, the “Institute,” as it is still affectionately known, is much more than the bricks and mortar of the building located at 1100 Belmont Ave., in Wyomissing. The “Institute” develops and runs programs throughout Berks County.
The purpose of Dancing with the Reading Stars is to raise the money necessary to support on-going operations, scholarships, productions and our many outreach programs – 50% which are provided at little or no cost. Institute programs impact close to 20,000 people each year – 80% under the age of 14 – 50% at risk.
Programs are delivered through our partnerships with the Reading School District, PAL/Olivet, Alvernia University’s South Reading Youth Initiative, Berks County Libraries, Wilson Area School District and John Paul II Center for Special Learning. In 2008 Institute partnerships extended beyond Berks County and Pennsylvania when a partnership was formed with Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis to become the 13th National site for Neighborhood Bridges. Neighborhood Bridges is a critical literacy program that has been effectively used in dozens of classrooms in the Reading School District.
