Voices Alive!

Through September 22, 2026

Presented by Philadelphia youth literacy organization A Book a Day and featured at The Study in celebration of National Literacy Month, Voices Alive! brings together a collection of vibrant posters featuring messages from artists, authors, and mentors, each offering words of inspiration and encouragement to young students.

Colorful, personal, and full of heart, the series celebrates the power of a good story, a creative spark, and a few words of encouragement to help a young person see what’s possible. At its heart, Voices Alive! is a reminder that every student has a story to tell, and every voice deserves to be heard.
