PROGRAMS

Adult Basic Literacy: Trained volunteer tutors meet one-on-one with adult students
to help them improve their reading, writing and spelling skills.

English as a Second
Language (ESL): Trained volunteer tutors work with small groups of students on speaking, understanding,
and writing English.

Literacy Labs: Trained "Reading Coaches" stationed in community

basic reading and writing tasks. Current partners and literacy lab locations include the John Boner Center,
the Mary Rigg Neighborhood Center, and Horizon House.
