Social Justice Begins With ME
Join the Book Club
Each month, the Social Justice Begins with ME book club examines a different social justice topic. Children ages 4–8 listen to a book read by a volunteer and discuss the month’s social justice topics in small groups. Children ages 9–11 will read a book in advance and discuss the book as a group. All participants will enjoy a snack and themed craft activity.
