 Project Overview

❏ Find a virtual platform that will allow students to

participate in the Book Buddy program.
❏ Corners designed this program due to the lack of
resources those with reading challenges need to keep
them on track.
SOLUTION 1

suit and benefit those participating in this after school program.

● Provide meetings/lessons for all those who have difficulties using

Zoom at least once or twice a week.
 ● Automated messages sent to

Communication students, parents, and

volunteers’ devices

Barriers ● Provided in the language needed

 Marketing The Virtual Space

Problem More volunteers than students in book buddy.

1. Solution

To draw more students in, Corners Outreach can reach out to Gwinnett County Public
Schools, Dekalb County School District, and even individual schools (mainly elementary) to
post an announcement/ad on their Twitter, Instagram, or bulletin board for Book Buddy.

2. Solution

Ask some individual schools to send emails to parents about having their kids join
Book Buddy.
