Diploma) examination, or prefer to help adult students with basic
literacy skills, call the Center’s office to schedule your orientation
meeting.
Literacy Volunteers is part of the ProLiteracy network
of adult basic education and literacy programs. ProLiteracy is working
with its member programs to raise awareness of available ESL services.
“Non-English
speakers in the U.S. can fall behind in education or employment in an
already challenging job market,” said David C. Harvey, president and CEO
of ProLiteracy. “Language barriers can also prevent them from
understanding important financial, educational, health care, employment
or legal rights issues. By raising awareness of our members’ ESL
programs, adults in need will know where to find resources that can help
them gain skills to address everyday matters.”
