Program Description:  We offer one-to-one basic literacy and pre-GED services to English-speaking adults who read and write below an 8th grade level.  Instruction is learner-centered focusing on real-life issues: job applications, certified nursing assistant, commercial driver’s license, citizenship and more.   Volunteers are asked to participate in a pre-service workshop, make a twelve month commitment, and meet twice weekly at a local library. Materials are provided free of charge. A Literacy AmeriCorps PBC grant allows us to offer conversational English classes at several of our locations.
