What it’s like at Lucy Project Events

POV: Unlocking Literacy

“I think that the scientific community would not be here if we didn’t have such strong community organizations like The Lucy Project; it’s taken our movement to a higher stratosphere.” - Dr. Monica Covington-Cradle
POV: 10 Days of Connection

“We love to partner with The Lucy Project because of their mission to help all youth get to reading level.” - Luisana Zambrano Diaz
POV: The Literacy Key Awards Dinner

“The Literacy Key Awards Dinner was one of the most memorable experiences of my professional career! I am so honored and grateful to have received the "Dyslexia Advocacy Key Award" from the Lucy Project. The introduction by Kadie Black, one of my former students, made it extremely special (and emotional)! Sandra and her team provided an amazing event - including a delicious dinner, networking with like-minded individuals, and the presentation of awards!” - Judith Cohen
