SYRACUSE EVEN START
Family Literacy Program

The Syracuse Even Start Family Literacy Program is a partnership between the Syracuse City School District and Partners in Learning Inc. The program serves low income families who live in the South, Southwest, and Near-West neighborhoods. Eligible families need to have one child age birth-three and one adult interested in improving their English Language, Reading, Writing, and Math skills. Syracuse Even Start provides the following services to families: Age appropriate early childhood education to prepare children for school success, parent literacy instruction which leads to economic self-sufficiency, training for parents on how to be their child’s first teacher and full partners in the education of their children, and interactive literacy activities with parents and their children. The Syracuse Even Start curriculum supports the New York State Learning Standards for children and adults.
