Celebrating Young Literacy Leaders

By Samantha Brant
 | Sep 01, 2016

ILA-SEPT 16-Cover-R03The International Literacy Association (ILA) is proud to announce its second annual 30 Under 30 list in the September/October issue of Literacy Today, ILA’s bimonthly member magazine. This list celebrates some of the best and the brightest young activists and visionaries in literacy for advocating, promoting, and improving literacy and education efforts across the globe.

This second class of honorees hails from all over the world, working in—and, in many cases, building—schools and using nonprofit organizations, social entrepreneurship, publishing firms, and more to create novel ways of forwarding the cause of worldwide literacy.

Those on ILA’s inaugural 30 Under 30 list from last year have gained attention both locally and internationally. At the ILA 2016 Conference & Exhibits, they were not only recognized at the Association’s awards ceremony, but also many presented on the work that got them recognized. ILA hopes 2016’s 30 Under 30 honorees will stay engaged throughout the year, share their experiences, and continue to inspire future literacy leaders.

Find a complete list of the 2016 30 Under 30 class and information about their literacy accomplishments in the newest issue of Literacy Today.

Samantha Brant is ILA’s communications intern.
