Mission and Program Overview

Mission

To inform students through the arts and literature to become informed citizens for today's world.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
MPGL Entertainment has now changed its name to Courage Coalition. It continues to have the same mission- to inform students through the arts and literature to become informed citizens for today's world. It provides free lesson plans, readers-theater and books to students across the United States and beyond. The focus is on historical events and how it impacts students present day. The first project leverages the award-winning Holocaust-era novel, "Milkweed,"by Jerry Spinelli. In just three years, the Milkweed Education Project has expanded from a 14-school pilot to robust partnerships with more than 200 classrooms in 43 US states, as well as five provinces in Canada and, most recently, a classroom in Norway. An animated film based on the novel is in production and will also be provided for free to classrooms.$0$44,732
