Literacy For Life is committed to assisting adult learners and their loved ones with the development of English language communication skills in the following ways:
- Recruiting and training volunteers to deliver specific instruction using a variety of techniques as tutors
- Providing instruction, both on a group and an individual basis, to learners in reading, writing, speaking and fundamental number skills, empowering learners to function more successfully in the community
- Promoting individual awareness and involvement in the literacy process
Our Learning Centers throughout the county provide learners and tutors with all of the necessary materials, as well as a friendly and safe environment in which to learn.
