Using the Pennsylvania Department of Education Family/Community Standards, university professors from the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford collaborated with multiple community clubs such as the Rotary and Kiwanis as well as local agencies including St. Bonaventure University on the development and implementation of a family literacy day event that assisted a rural community with increasing family literacy engagement. Seventeen community agencies/clubs and forty-two university students engaged in event coordination. Thirty-two families, including 82 children, attended. These standards aided in an efficacious first year event.
