Storying Tucker Registration
This free summer literacy program is available for youth aged 14-17 in the Tucker area.

When: Monday, June 3rd through Friday, June 7th 10 am until 5 pm. Extended time and transportation is available by request to accommodate family schedules.

Where: Tucker Reid H. Cofer Library 5234 Lavista Rd, Tucker, GA 30084

Who: Any youth aged 14-17 in the Tucker area or who have just graduated from 8th through 11th grades.

Why: Tucker became a city in 2016, but it was a community long before that. What is the history of Tucker? Who is Tucker today? And what could the future of Tucker be? Led by youth researchers Anela, Samira, and Sabina with support from Lisa York, English teacher at Tucker High School,  and Leah Panther, Associate Professor of Literacy Education at Mercer University, our team is looking for co-researchers to record and capture Tucker’s stories, voices, and community histories. The end results will be guided by youth co-researchers, but may include creating podcasts, open access digital archives, adding to Tucker's existing GIS Map, drafting a white paper for the Tucker city council, or book.

Funded by the Spencer Foundation and supported by the Linguistic Justice Collaborative, Mercer University, Tucker High School, DeKalb Public Libraries, and the Tucker Historical Society, this program is free for all participants and will provide snacks and public transportation.
