Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
The LAB (Literacy Achievement Bonanza)
The Literacy Achievement Bonanza, or LAB, is a week-long day camp full of literacy-based activities explicitly designed to foster a positive relationship with reading while improving literacy skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) in age-, skill-, and developmentally-appropriate methods aligned with the College and Career Readiness Standards. Now working in partnership with Operation Shoestring, we have added a year-round after-school literacy support component.
Culture, Education, and Spirituality
The ISJL supports, connects, and celebrates Jewish life in the South. The three core service areas of the ISJL are Culture, Education, and Spirituality. These departments serve Jewish communities in our 13-state-region, with a special emphasis on small and remote communities reached by few other entities.
