I volunteered for the California Dictionary Project a few years ago during their Dictionary Day event. We were all assigned different elementary schools to visit in the Bay Area and we got to visit a classroom and distribute free dictionaries to the students. We also go to lead some activities with the students to help them learn how to use a Dictionary. It was a very organized event and I had adequate training and instructions on what to do when I got to the school. I had a great time interacting with the kids and seeing them get excited about their brand new dictionaries.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
seeing the kids excited about getting their own dictionary and learning how to use it on the spot.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
have more events that just this yearly Dictionary Day event.

I think what CDP does for the 3rd graders in our surrounding communities is a great thing. The program will equip our young students with the tools they need in order to meet higher standards of literacy. CDP should expand outside to other low-income communities in the states surrounding California.
The Great!

Expand the program to more low-income areas. Distribute the dictionaries during camp and/or after school programs, allowing volunteers more available times to help out.
