My Nonprofit Reviews

The Newport Mesa ProLiteracy has been an amazing experience. As a volunteer, I am faced with ongoing challenges on how to prioritize and teach effectively. It has been very fulfilling seeing my learner advance and reach the milestones she had set for herself. Without the dedication, support and resources at this organization, these individuals would have no hope of reaching their potential. This program truly bridges the gap to make productive people who can positively benefit our communities. It also is a platform for creating healthy interaction among people who would otherwise not likely meet. The program fosters a sense of empathy and care which is the building block of a healthy environment.

I’ve been a volunteer at the NP Beach literacy program for more than a year. It’s been a truly rewarding experience for both my learner and I. Even though we come from very different backgrounds and our communication is limited, we have developed an endearing relationship of trust and appreciation. Having been exposed to the program, I’ve gained a deeper insight into the difficulties a learner faces. To realize that I’m helping navigate and guide my learner through the unfamiliar world and help ease her life, is a fulfilling experience.
The program provides great training, support and guidance to it’s volunteers with clear goals set for success of every learner enrolled in the program. There are clear objectives for achieving certain milestones in the year’s course with much freedom given to volunteers to create lesson plans and provide appropriate material for their respective learner. Thanks for supporting this non profit program and providing the means to create a marked difference in people’s lives.
