Sponsor a Classroom

Your company will be paired with a Behind the Book class for the duration of a program (2-3 months). Your staff will be invited to volunteer, meet the author, and assist with the different workshops.


Host An Author Event For Employees and Their Children at Your Company

Remote or In-Person

Host a reading with a children’s author, your employees, and their families. Receive an autographed book, meet the author, and create art that can be integrated into a professionally-designed book as a takeaway for each participant.

Host a Writing Workshop at Your Company for

a Middle or High School Class

BtB students are from low-income communities. Most have limited exposure to professional career paths and often have never set foot in an office building. Hosting a class for a writing workshop provides an eye-opening, horizon-expanding experience for our scholars. It is an experience neither you nor they will forget.
