Program Overview

Purpose Driven Learners is a community-based literacy and learning program that helps children, youth, and adults grow their reading, writing, and learning skills. Our program is open to students in elementary, middle, and high school, as well as adults who want extra support with reading, GED preparation, or basic skills.

We offer free and low-cost tutoring, small group literacy sessions, and one-on-one support. Students receive help with reading fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, writing, and homework support. We also provide learning tools, family resources, and encouragement to help students build confidence and enjoy learning.

Services are offered in person and online, depending on family needs and availability. Our program welcomes learners of all backgrounds, including students who may be struggling in school, need extra practice, or want to improve their skills over the summer or school year.

Our goal is simple: help every learner feel confident, capable, and supported on their education journey.
