Burst Into Books

To rebuild our village through advocacy, the arts, educational and family programming.

Burst Into Books is a CPS Vendor and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to helping the youth deepen their love of reading by integrating the arts, providing opportunities for them to engage with those connected to the literacy field, and creating a space for them to express themselves. We are invested in supporting the whole family unit in order to establish long-lasting change.

Our staple program is our monthly book club sessions in which we support the entire spectrum of the development of the child, from 6 months of age to 18 years old. Each group has been carefully created with a curriculum that is age-appropriate, culturally relevant, and academic-driven. A reading guide/group leader and literacy expert guest is selected by the Founder and Executive Director, Jurema Gorham
