What do we do?
We are a non-profit, community-based organization that provides basic (grade 1 - 5 equivalent) training in reading, writing, and math to English-speaking adults. Our service is free, private, and one-to-one. We have been assisting adults with their literacy skills since 1973. How do we do it?
We train volunteers to provide one-to-one tutoring to adults aged 16 and over. We also run four small group classes three times a week.
