Serving Incarcerated Youth at Juvenile Hall: Reading Together to Reduce Recidivism
Kelsey Nordstrom-Sanchez (She/Hers)
Research and Instruction Librarian at Tanimura & Antle Family Memorial Library, California State University
Are you interested in helping underserved youth in your local community? If so, this session is for you! During this session, I share my journey developing a book club for local incarcerated youth impacted by gangs and gang violence. The session will highlight creative lesson planning via incorporating art, graphic novels, creative writing, and transformative group discussions to engage youth of all ages and reading levels. In addition, I share lessons I've learned along the way.
