Mission Statement
The Aquinas Literacy Center exists to offer individualized tutoring in the English language to area residents at no cost to the students. The Center accepts every race, color or creed. We strive to provide an environment conducive to learning, and one which reverences and respects each individual person. Closely allied with this intent is the fostering of independent learning, personal growth and responsibility. Our service is based on the expertise and experience of the Adrian Dominican Sisters and their continuing commitment to education.
Description
Here at Aquinas Literacy Center we strive to help change lives word by word in an effort to help our students share their story and engage more fully in the world around them. We offer a variety of programming to help students in their learning. The Literacy Center is a place that offers hospitality, opportunity for education and learning, and a community of learners and supporters. We invite you to join us as a volunteer! In particular, Aquinas Literacy Center is seeking volunteers who can commit 90 minutes per week as an ESL tutor. Tutor training is provided, and knowledge of a second language is not necessary.
