Everyone should have a place where they can grow, learn, and play. No matter your age, you have to feel safe and loved to be able to learn. We tell the story of using play performances and public recitations to draw upon the already rich verbal skills our young people bring to the MLK Center. By giving early readers a chance to see rhyme, rhythm, and tone as part of their literacy education, it encourages them to value the resources that surround them from storytelling to lyrical flourish. This is a ministry of MLK Center Indy.
