Project Literacy

Program Overview

Project Literacy offers free services to adults learning to read, write, or speak English. Many are immigrants who are studying English and learning about American culture and some are native or nearly fluent English speakers who are improving their language skills.

Students can improve their job skills, support their children's education, attend computer class, and prepare for U.S. citizenship.

Project Literacy provides free classes taught by professional ESOL teachers. We also offer one-on-one and small group tutoring by trained volunteers, and conversation circles led by native English speakers.

Project Literacy tutors are caring members of our community who provide an important service to adult learners. Our volunteer tutors are fluent in English and are willing to spend two hours a week with adult learners, most of whom are learning or improving their English communication skills.

We ask tutors to make a one-year commitment (allowing for typical life circumstances). There is a 4-session, 9-hour pre-service training. We typically have trainings every 3-4 months.
