The Macon-Bibb Mayor’s Literacy Alliance is offering a free six-session workshop series for families starting Tuesday, March 24. Registration is open now, but space is limited.
What’s Happening: The Family Learning & Empowerment Literacy Series runs from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. across six evenings in March and May. Most sessions are at the Bibb County Professional Learning Center at 2003 Riverside Drive. The April 28 session will be held in the conference room near the Board of Elections inside Macon Mall at 3661 Mercer University Drive.
What’s Important: Organizers say each session builds on the one before it, so families are encouraged to attend all six. Families can reserve a spot by emailing info@mbmla.org.
By the Numbers: Each family that completes the series receives literacy and leadership materials, writing and reading workbooks for children, resilience and leadership curriculum for adults, family discussion tools, and one year of access to an online resource platform with games, videos, and tools.
