Volunteers Invited to Tutor Others with Low Literacy
Bangor. Does it surprise you to know that 37% of our neighbors are functioning at the lowest levels of literacy?
Low literacy is an invisible social and economic issue that is affecting our community. Adults with low literacy (poor reading or English skills) tell us that they feel ashamed, frustrated, and embarrassed. Poor literacy prevents them from helping their children develop important skills, limits their job and earning prospects, and even prevents them from participating in community activities that may expose their limitations.
Be part of the solution.
Tutoring an adult in reading or the English language only takes a few hours and week, though the positive effects last a lifetime. Literacy Volunteers of Bangor is announcing their fall schedule for 2007.
