My Nonprofit Reviews

Many years ago, I worked for a literacy council in Northern Virginia, which I found to be very rewarding. Then I moved to Maryland and I worked as a tutor for the AACLC. It is an incredible organization with a passionate leader. I was well-trained and well-supported. For years I’ve given money to them as a charitable gift donation. I feel if you help one person to read, it has a domino effect on all the people that are connected to him or her. For example, if they can now read the bus schedule, they can get to work on time. It is empowering to teach someone to read and AACLC empowers the tutors and their students.

This organization does so much to attend to the literacy needs of so many. I have never worked with such dedicated volunteers and seen the lives of their clients impacted so profoundly. Helping people to read or read better has a domino effect on the community. By helping one person, you positively affect everyone around them nurturing independence, productivity and a better quality of life.
