Katrina Foelsche joined The Campagna Center in December 2019 as the Director of Wright to Read, created in 1979 to “give the gift of literacy” to Alexandria’s children. In this role, Katrina furthers the program’s goals to recruit and lead a superb team of tutors & mentors who work with ACPS students to improve their literacy skills and spread the joy of reading. Katrina is thrilled to be part of a program that combines both her passions of encouraging literacy and mentoring children.
