Streetside Stories was featured on yesterday's
Forum with Michael Krasny. The show focused on the state of youth literacy, and
organizations (like Streetside) who are working to improve it.
Streetside Director Linda Johnson and Streetside alum Nina Perez
appeared, along with literacy advocate (and Star Trek cast member)
LeVar Burton, Ninive Calegari and Belinda Man from our nonprofit
colleagues
826 Valencia, and education professor Susan Neuman. The
show features some lively discussion about how community
organizations, parents and schools can help kids become literate
citizens.
If you haven't heard Forum on KQED 88.5 before, it's an excellent
show that goes in depth about important issues. You can listen to
the show on KQED's website, and even load it onto your iPod!
The show is archived
