All-Star Readers - Youth Literacy Program

Group 103

Platinum Charities is committed to supporting and leaving a positive impact on elementary schools through the literacy initiative, All-Star Readers. The program encourages and inspires grades 1st through 5th to achieve reading growth by hosting various events such as; literacy drives, book distribution for summer reading, and organizing special guests to read to classrooms.

Classrooms are visited by All-Star Readers comprised of former and present athletes, entertainers, authors, coaches, community leaders and our founder, Mike McGruder who share their passion for reading and encourage students to read more books daily. Our goals through this program:

  • Provide mentorship
  • Focus on the importance of reading
  • Encourage students, through books to make better decisions;
  • Inspire students to stay in a perpetual state of discovery and curiosity about the world through books.

Platinum Charities’ All-Star Readers are determined to make students: All-Star Readers!
