Project: LEARN Mission
Our program helps
individuals 16 and older improve basic reading, writing, spelling
and comprehensive skills necessary to meet the challenges they
encounter in the workplace and other aspects of their daily lives.
Our program was organized in 1983. It provides the only one-on-one
tutoring available
free of charge to anyone interested in improving basic skills.
By making basic literacy resources available to adults at the very lowest
level of reading ability, we can strengthen families and improve the quality
of life for individuals and their families across the community.
Services provided by Project: LEARN include free, confidential one-one-tutoring
for county residents ages 14 and up. Tutoring is also provided for non-English
speaking clients. Small group sessions are held for learners on a variety
of topics. A student support group meets once a month.
Our volunteer tutors are trained and certified in a 14 hours training session.
Project: LEARN also offers four in-service training sessions per year,
including
English as a Second Language (ESL). A personalized learner assessment is
provided to all students.
Funding for our program is provided by United Way, special events, grants,
and corporate and personal contributions.
