Destiny of H.O.P.E., Inc. and P.E.A.C.E., will be hosting Columbia’s Community “Oasis” Book Club. Reading is a fundamental principle of growth. Just like the muscles in your arms, legs, and back, your brain too must receive its exercise. Special thanks are due to the Boone Electric Community Trust as a sponsor of the Oasis Book Club, who too understand the great benefits of reading and expanding the the mind. We believe that our book club will enable our young scholars and mentees to learn from the freedoms and imprisonments of the world, which will lead them to a deeper understanding of people through their conversations, and providing opportunities to safely fail and celebrate success.
One of our partner organizations, SEED Success will be offering incentives for youth who sign up for the Oasis Book Club, for the completion of books, and more. For further information visit: http://www.seedsuccess.org
