Program Plan: Teen Comic Club

Abstract

Comicbook Book Club! is a weekly after school book club program for teens ages 14-18. The program will supply participants with recommended weekly comicbook readings that feature characters from a diverse variety of settings, in which they face challenges particular to their situation (sexuality, gender, socioeconomic class, culture, ethnicity, disability, and so on). A meeting facilitator will offer guidance for group discussions on readings and related topics, leaving freedom for conversations to develop organically.
