My Nonprofit Reviews

Literacy Network is the gold standard for a small non-profit taking on an enormous challenge effectively. The staff supports hundreds of volunteer tutors who work with learners from around the world. As an ESL tutor and tutor for citizenship, I can always count on staff to train me, help me find the right resources, and encourage me and my learners. For this reason, I have seen learners change their lives in significant ways, qualifying for better jobs, learning how to work with healthcare providers and schools, and gaining confidence as they communicate more effectively in English. The work of volunteers supplements the classes and special community projects that staff plan and implement. In addition to improving literacy in our county, Literacy Network very often brings tutors and learners into long-term supportive relationships. I believe that these relationships improve all of our lives, acting as a counter-weight to forces that otherwise keep our lives separate.
