Literacy Program

The Genesis Group is committed to promoting and advancing literacy throughout the Mohawk Valley through a number of initiatives. 

One of these initiatives is a partnership with Perch Place Consulting and Ready for Kindergarten, to bring the internationally renowned “Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library” to our region. Every child enrolled in the Imagination Library program receives high-quality, age-appropriate books in the mail – one book per month until a child’s fifth birthday – at no cost to families.

Robin Robinson, President of the R4K Program said, “children who are read to early in life are better prepared for learning and school. The gift of literacy inspires children to love language and books while supporting parents’ positive interactions with their children. Partnering with school districts and the community fosters our children’s success.”

The program launched in September of 2023 with two school districts (Camden and Utica) and was expanded to add four more school districts (Little Falls, Herkimer, Central Valley and Dolgeville) in September of 2024.
