Introducing Talking Is Teaching: Talk, Read, Sing in Clarion County!

United Way of Clarion County is excited to launch a new countywide initiative designed to help our youngest learners build strong foundations for success.

Thanks to support from the Barbara Bush Foundation and Clinton Foundation through the Too Small to Fail initiative, we are partnering with organizations throughout Clarion County to promote one simple message: Talk, Read and Sing with your children everyday.

It's official! We are bringing the NEA Big Read to Clarion County this fall!

Beginning in September, we'll join communities across the country in using literature to spark conversation, inspire creativity, and bring people together.
The NEA Big Read is a national initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts that inspires communities to come together around a shared reading experience. The program encourages us to explore important themes, connect with one another, and celebrate the power of stories.

NE Big Read Theme for 2026 is Freedom250!

We're already working with local organizations, schools, libraries, veterans, artists, businesses, and community leaders to build a meaningful experience for Clarion County—but we want to hear from you!

Whether you're interested in helping plan events, hosting a discussion, volunteering, sharing ideas, representing an organization, or simply staying informed, we invite you to get involved.

Complete our interest form here: https://forms.gle/8Pz21wAdVu48SmGM6
Or send me an email [email protected]

Together, we can create a program that reflects the stories, history, and voices of Clarion County.

A huge THANK YOU to our 2026 Mayfest Maybugs - along with their incredible families, friends, and supporters - for raising over $2,500 for Clarion County’s Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library!

Because of this community effort, even more local children will receive the joy of books delivered right to their mailbox each month.

We are so grateful to the Mayfest Community Association for their continued partnership and to everyone who donated, encouraged, shared, and cheered these them on.
Together, you proved that when a community comes together, even the smallest bugs can make a BIG impact.
