Empower Lit Nonprofit Tackles Literacy Crisis with Confidence-Building School Programs

For educators, parents, and nonprofit supporters, this New to The Street interview features Gina Casazza, founder of Empower Lit: Literacy and Beyond, a nonprofit focused on improving childhood literacy while building self-confidence and belonging in students through storytelling, author visits, and creative writing programs in schools.

The program combines literacy education with personal development, encouraging students to overcome self-doubt and develop a love for reading and writing through interactive assemblies, collaborative storytelling, and school-wide book creation projects. Empower Lit is expanding its reach across the United States with a goal of visiting more schools each year, while also launching youth writing camps designed to help children strengthen identity, creativity, and confidence through literacy.
