I love the NBPL Adult Literacy Program. Their tutor training is thorough and efficient, and I learned what I need to know to help adult learners most effectively. The program takes care to match learners and tutors in such a way that the relationship benefits both. I am impressed by the program's comprehensive strategy; they offer book clubs and writing classes to their learners. To see an organization fulfill such a need with such care enlivens my faith in humanity.
