If so, we can help.  Low literacy has many faces.  People like Joe, laid off from his manufacturing job after fifteen years, who can't read well enough to train for a new job. People like Flo, recently widowed and unable to take care of her bills and mail.  People like Guadalupe, who want to learn English so she can help her children with their homework. People like Roselle, a caregiver to her elderly mother who is struggling to give medicine according to labels she cannot read.

Student recruitment is not necessary.  Phone calls and walk-ins are received daily from people interested in achieving a higher level of literacy, computer skills.

Last year, The Literacy Council provided English-as-a-second language and basic reading instruction to more than 1,000 adults, and family literacy programming to over 3,000 families. A group of more than 130 dedicated and trained tutors worked to fulfill the Council's mission to provide literacy instruction to individuals and families to strengthen our communities.
