Description
The Adult Literacy Program helps adults to reach personal goals in improving their education, such as:
- Reading
- Writing
- English language
- GED testing preparation
- Citizenship testing preparation
- Computer skills
- CNA exam preparation
- and more!
Students are paired one-on-one with a volunteer tutor, who works with them weekly in a public location at the hours that work best for both tutor and student.
The schedule is flexible; typically with 1 or 2 hours per week. Approximately 10 hours of training and orientation is provided for each tutor.
The highlight of 2018: A longtime student, immigrant, and former engineer traded in his entry-level job for his dream job with the help and encouragement of his tutor!
