Active for Education is Room to Read’s campaign to get energized, body and mind, for global literacy and gender equality in education. From global yoga-thons to reading competitions to rickshaw adventures, our supporters are inspired to set up their own challenge campaigns and raise money by getting #ActiveforEducation.
Here are some ideas to help you get started:
Set a challenge and rally your co-workers, friends and family to help you reach your goal and support a great cause.
Your goal can be anything you want — train for a half marathon, learn to play an instrument, or explore a new hike each week. Want to involve your colleagues? Set up a company-wide competition and track your activity and dollars toward ending illiteracy.
