Bringing technology into our classroom
ORGANIZATION: Skyline Literacy
Please visit the new page to apply.
Skyline Literacy is now part of the Valley Workforce Center and has a great opportunity to better serve the community with a large on-site classroom. But we need help getting technology hooked up so we can provide the best learning experience for our English language, citizenship, and GED students.
This project requires someone (or a generous company) with the expertise to install a projector in a high ceiling and the necessary cable/networking to connect it to existing network in the building.

No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.

Mission Statement
Our VISION is a community where adults are empowered by literacy skills to be self-sufficient and to participate in the workforce, education and civic affairs. Our MISSION is to provide needs-based instruction for adults in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County in literacy, English, and citizenship, using trained volunteers.
Description
Skyline Literacy provides one-on-one and small group tutoring to adults who are struggling with speaking, reading, and writing skills. In addition to poor literacy skills, most of Skyline's students are parents who have limited financial resources. Many work shift work in local businesses. Skyline customizes its services to fit students needs and schedules. Since Skyline uses volunteers to provide tutoring as well as many other tasks, students can receive services for a small registration fee of $25. Of course, no student is denied services for lack of payment. Skyline Literacy also provides citizenship, computer literacy, and health literacy classes for the community.
