Community Events

Cultivating joy through literacy is the ultimate mission for Black Boys Read Too. Literacy is a communal act, and our events aim to unify families and communities around a shared love for reading. 

In Erie and Niagara Counties, 17.5% of adults (that’s 147,599 individuals) struggle due to lack of functional literacy, reading at or below Level 1*. In an effort to address this alarming statistic with our population of emerging readers, we look forward to hosting family friendly programs throughout the city of Buffalo. 

Each program will pair literacy with themes relevant to our communities, including:

  • Health & Wellness

  • Mindfulness 

  • Fitness

  • The Arts 

  • Creativity

And much much more! 

We look forward to hosting you, and to creating spaces where Black Boys and their families can thrive and foster joy through reading.
