Literacy Alive! is Kappa Delta Pi’s signature service initiative that invites members to create programs and events in their communities that bring empowering literacy skills to their participants. With international impact, Literacy Alive! has been appropriately named to reflect the program’s energizing growth and tremendous possibilities! Annually across the globe, chapter and professional members host literacy-related events that promote and strengthen literacy skills and enrich lives. Literacy Alive! events reach out to an average of 24,000 children, adolescents, and adults each year. Programs range from one-day events to semester-long partnerships with schools.
