Literacy Connections continues its mission of providing student-centered tutoring as we work remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our staff are on duty from home, ready to provide resources to adult students, and continue to provide online orientations and tutor training to new volunteers.
With the support of volunteer tutors willing to explore new ways to continue tutoring their students, literacy has gone virtual. In April, a virtual curriculum was developed and classes for adult students started using different online platforms. In our service areas, over 150 adult students are actively learning remotely during this crisis. We are so proud of our staff for their hard work and dedication, reaching out to adult students and volunteers and implementing an online program within weeks.
Now, more than ever, low-level and non-English speaking students need our help as they struggle to adapt and navigate the changes brought on by the pandemic.
As we continue to adapt and change to provide uninterrupted literacy programs to those most in need during social distancing and drained resources, we ask you to consider becoming a literacy volunteer and to donate. Your generosity will ensure our doors, though physically closed, remain open to everyone who wants to read, write, and reach their potential.
