Give to Help Children Read, Write and Grow
Jenna Bush Hager, NBC News Host and Correspondent, visits two New York City based organizations that use the power of books to bring about positive impacts in the academic and emotional lives of children and teens. Jenna's first stop is Pajama Program, which provides pajamas and books to thousands of children and teens around country who are living in shelters, orphanages, group homes and foster care. At the Pajama Program Reading Center in NYC, Jenna witnesses first hand how the simple act of reading feeds children's minds and fills them with security, comfort and love. Recognizing the profound significance of bedtime reading in the lives of her own children, Jenna is deeply moved and wants to help, but first she goes to see another organization in action. Created to answer the challenge of falling literacy rates in New York City's high-poverty schools, Behind the Book brings professional authors into Pre-K - 12th grade classrooms to conduct writing workshops that culminate in the publication of a book of student work. Energized by the passion she sees in the students, and impressed with the effectiveness of Behind the Book's method, Jenna must decide how to divide fifty thousand dollars between the two organizations. In the end, with the help of the GIVE panel, she finds a way to support them both.
