Goal

For my mitzvah project I have chosen to work with Chester Upland Youth Soccer by creating Maddie’s Book Club! 


Chester Upland Youth Soccer strengthens under-served communities by mentoring youth, engaging families, and promoting healthy living. During COVID, the organization has provided a variety of Zoom activities well beyond soccer training, including art lessons, science experiments, healthy cooking tips and dance parties. They have given out supplies for those activities plus lots of groceries, books and active toys, helping kids and families through COVID's challenges.


I will host a virtual book club over spring break with 1st and 2nd graders where we will read and discuss books together over a series of zooms. The books I have chosen to share with the children are from the “What You Do Matters” series written by Kobi Yamada and Illustrated by Mae Besom. They are inspiring, beautiful and creative.  Your donation will help us to supply each child with a gift box in advance of the book club meetings. The gift box will contain their own copy of the book series, a plush toy inspired by the books, and much-needed groceries. 


Your donations will support Chester Upland Youth Soccer's programming and hopefully some extra copies of the books for future book clubs!   
Chester Upland Youth Soccer, a Section 501(c) (3) charitable organization, strengthens the communities it serves by mentoring youth, engaging families, and promoting healthy living. We provide after-school and weekend soccer programming, mentorship and nutrition education for at-risk children in suburban Philadelphia.
