Teen Read Week Activities Grants
If you have an idea to promote reading among ESL teens, the Young Adult Library Services Association has a grant that might be the right fit for you.

Activities and programs that you might flagship should ultimately line up with this year’s theme of October Teen Read Week. The activities should also somehow incorporate the Young Adult Library Services Association’s practices that have been set up for teaching literacy to kids. Ten $1,000 grants are in fact available for this grant, and you can apply by visiting http://teenreadweek.ning.com/page/trw-activity-grant and following all instructions that you find there.
