Reading
is Leading project ideas
The Mortar Board national project of "Reading is Leading" was
established as the permanent national project in 2002. Since
then, students have been dedicated to serving literacy needs
across the nation. Chapters are expected to complete at
least one literacy-themed project each year either alone, as
a part of section project or while joining with a national or
international organization.
Literacy initiatives are a great fit for an organization like
Mortar Board that prides itself so much on scholarship. Engage
your chapter in a "Reading is Leading" project and celebrate the
joys of reading! Some popular projects are:
- Read-a-thons
- Book drives
- Trick-or-treat for books
- Adopt-a-school
- Reading at a children’s hospital
- Functional literacy
workshops
- Lobbying congress
- Reading in nursing homes or retirement
communities
