The LINC team headed downtown on Wednesday, October 23 to partner with Harry's Shave Co. on an in-office employee engagement activation: assembling Caregiver Kits for our workshop graduates. We began by educating attendees on the literacy crisis, explaining LINC's Community Literacy Model, and sharing the impact of LINC's work.
Before diving into our packing activity, LINC's Workshop and Delivery Specialist, Allie Zambito took the group through a sample Caregiver Kit. Everyone was very curious about the phonemic awareness paddles, so she demonstrated how they would be used in a workshop and by families in their own homes.
Then we got down to business. The team was super efficient and packed up 100 new Caregiver Kits for distribution at our upcoming Learn 'n Play workshops for 4-5-year-olds. Each kit contained 1 book (either Spanish or English), a Phonemic Awareness Paddle plus magnets and a marker, a LINC palm card, shaving cream (courtesy of Harry's), and directions for literacy-building activities that incorporate shaving cream.
It was rewarding for everyone to see one of our corporate partners' products incorporated in such a relevant and fun way! The Harry's team was engaged, interested, and incredibly helpful, and were all in agreement that the star volunteer was Duchess the dog!
Thank you to our newest corporate volunteers and LINC staff for making this day a success.
