To be a member of the board of directors giving advice in areas of finance, policy and personnel to keep our organization healthy. In this way you can impact the lives of adults who need to learn to read, speak English or get their high school equivalency diploma.
Our organization has doubled its budget in the past two years because we are the only non-profit organization in Stanislaus County providing comprehensive and free tutoring for adults. Over 1300 adults were helped last year in one of our many programs. When a child can't read it's a problem. When an adult can't read it's a crisis.

Mission Statement
LearningQuest -- Stanislaus Literacy Centers is a volunteer non-profit organization that provides basic literacy skills and English as a Second Language opportunities for adults in the workforce and in our community.
Description
LearningQuest -- Stanislaus Literacy Centers helps adults who lack basic reading, writing and math skills. We do this through a reading and GED lab in a one-stop job training center, we do it through one-on-one and group tutoring and we do it through classes. We also have a program in the county jail system that provides GED tutoring and literacy tutoring for incarcerated adults. Our most recent addition is the family literacy program which operates out of two schools in our county -- Wakefield Elementary and Chrysler Elementary schools. We have a new program which is located at the Samaritan House Shelter for women and children. These family literacy programs provide the adults with tutoring plus family literacy activities and activities for the children while the parents are tutored. There are several books given to the family during the course of the program.
