Review for Literacy Coalition South Central Arkansas, Camden, AR, USA
OCCLC was reestablished in 2009 and it is a solid organization with a strong, outstanding Board of Directors. It receives superb support from the community's college, SAU Tech; SAU Tech's Adult Education program; and many community agencies and organizations that recognize the great need for adult literacy services to exist in the tri-county areas it serves. OCCLC began providing free one-on-one tutoring services and learning material to adults functioning on or below a 6th grade level of education in the areas of reading, writing, math/problem-solving, and English as a Second Language. It has been wonderful watching people get excited about having the additional help and resources they need and that will help them reach their goals. Although OCCLC has done awesome work in its first restart-up year through training 47 tutors, and providing literacy services to 50 adult learners, there is much ahead to do to meet the needs of all adult learners in the three, predominately rural areas in which it serves. OCCLC has the opportunity to change individual lives and the face of each community.

Because women, unfortunately, are the first to readily admit they need help, OCCLC has been able to realize results of its services to more women so far. Mothers are showing up and taking steps towards higher levels of education for career/job options.
