Open or close Youth Led Humanities Grant (Teen Reading Lounge) Youth Led Humanities Grant (Teen Reading Lounge)
Match Goal: $2,500.00
Match collected: $475.10
We are in our second year of the 2024-2026 Youth-Led Humanities Cohort. We are the only Berks County Public Library to participate and this grant was previously called the Teen Reading Lounge (TRL) grant. We will receive $5,000 but are required to match $2,500.
This year the group will focus on Ancient Greece. The teens are still planning the activities for this year and could include book discussions, crafting and community service.
The library is required to raise 50% of the $5,000 grant to be used for staffing, a service project and program supplies not covered in the grant. Please help us raise enough money for the match. We are hoping 500 people can donate $5 to help us reach the $2,500 before June. If you are able to donate to the Youth Led Humanities program, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the support! Everyone was so excited to hear about what the youth were doing last year-- keep watching throughout the year for updates from this year's group.
