Story Chain Fund

Story Chain provides parents in detention facilities with coaches to help read, rehearse, and record children’s books so their children can hear their voices.

A fundraising campaign for UpDayton

Reading aloud to children builds their vocabularies, increases their chances of academic success later in life, and strengthens their relationships with their caretakers. But for many incarcerated parents, providing these benefits to their kids isn’t an option. Story Chain wants to fix that. With the help of libraries, community centers, and volunteers, Story Chain will provide parents in detention facilities with children’s books to read aloud, coaches to help them rehearse and record, and mp3 players to send home.
