I have been involved as a volunteer with Literacy Partners for five years. During that time I have tutored dozens of students, some of whom have made wonderful progress, passed their GEDs and moved on to the next phase of their lives. I have been so impresses with Literacy P. The energetic staff offers the adult students every chance to become literate. The staff works tirelessly and cheerfully to make the best of everyone's potential and to provide the emotional support as well as learning skills that are needed. More funding is needed, more staff is needed, more materials are needed, but Literacy Partners thrives despite this.
