Behind the Book

Behind the Book develops engaged readers and writers in underserved NYC public schools by designing and delivering programs that are multi-disciplinary, culturally responsive, and promote deeper connections to books and their authors.

We empower the next generation of readers and writers by nurturing critical thinking, creativity, and self confidence - giving them the tools they need to reach their full potential.

Behind the Book partners with schools in Manhattan and the Bronx to provide quality literacy programs to more than 1,500 Pre-K-12th grade students each year.
