425 Book Club Project,founded by Professor Regina Bernard-Carreno (Assistant Professor, Black and Hispanic Studies Dept, Baruch College), is an organization that is dedicated to fostering and promoting the idea that through the model of a book-club, young people will begin, learn, and love to read for leisure. Your donation of $5, $10, $15, or $20 will help them buy new books for teens and keep them involved in 425 Book Club Project throughout the school year. Their involvement will keep them connected to reading, off the street and safe during after school hours, and provide them with the information they need in order to be knowledgeable citizens within our society.
Please contact Maryanne Ravenel at to see how you can donate and for more information about 425 Book Club Project, please click here
