Each year, the NCV Foundation sponsors a “Hometown Project.”  In an effort to bring together adult and youth literacy, a copy of the judging author’s book, affixed with the Storylines Project seal, will be given to the members of a high school or elementary school class in the author’s hometown. 

Adult literacy participants at the New York Centers for Reading and Writing and students in the Hometown Project will have a chance to learn about one another.

In conjunction with author Silas House’s 2009 visit, the NCV Foundation supplied copies of Eli the Good to the Frank J. White Academy for a One Book event and to Cumberland Gap High School, Tennessee.
