About Our Programs

Adult Volunteer Literacy Program
In our Adult Volunteer Literacy program, trained volunteer literacy tutors work one-on-one or in small groups with adult learners, focusing on helping learners reach their individual goals. Through our FeelFluent Chasers classes, we also provide classroom instruction options for beginning English language learners who are on our waitlist for individualized tutoring.
Family Literacy Program
Our Family Literacy Program serves parents and their children during the school year. The program benefits the entire family by improving the English Language and parenting skills of the adults as they gain a better understanding of the expectations of the school system and the community, and learn how to be more engaged in their children’s education and development. Families enjoy Interactive Literacy Activities (ILA) and library services together. Children are enrolled in Boys & Girls Club and receive homework help, a free meal, and club activities.
Conversation Groups
Our drop-in conversation groups are led by volunteer tutors and hosted in partnership with Gail Borden Public Library. Volunteer tutors host small groups of adult learners at various skill levels and stimulate casual conversations in English through the use of games, stories, role-playing, show-and-tell, videos and other visual aids, as well as through focusing on specific topics, such as citizenship.
Workplace Literacy
This fee-based program provides tailored English literacy instruction based on the communication needs of a company or industry, typically taking place on site at the workplace for 8 to 24 weeks.
