"No ser capaz de escribir y leer es como estar ciego. Ahora que puedo leer y escribir, me siento libre e independiente." - - Estudiante Dinora Guerra California es el hogar de 565,375 adultos de habla hispana que no pueden leer y escribir en ningún idioma. Aunque el dominio limitado del inglés puede aislar a familias inmigrantes y prevenirlas de integrarse a su comunidad, aquellos que no cuentan con conocimientos de alfabetización nativa están aún más aislados, especialmente los adultos que hablan un idioma indígena como Quiche, Kanjobal o Zapoteca y están aprendiendo español como segundo lenguaje. Si usted puede hablar, leer y escribir español puede cambiar una vida ofreciéndose como voluntario. Los voluntarios dan tutoría uno-a-uno de dos a tres horas a la semana y reciben materiales y entrenamiento gratuito. Pedimos un compromiso mínimo de 6 meses.
