Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Program will extend its reach beyond childcare programs to summer school and free lunch programs.
Participants will spend more time reading over the summer than they would have without the program.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We expanded our sites to 15 (25% increase) and participants to 1,690 (35% increase), and were able to pilot offering OSSRP at a summer school and a free lunch program in Savage, and at a bilingual Spanish/English childcare program in Shakopee. This expansion was possible because we hired a coordinator to manage OSSRP.
