Review for Literacy Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I've been Volunteering at GPLC for almost three years. I've been teaching an adult how to read. By now we've become friends. He's younger than I am, so I have a hook into what the younger people are thinking about. Since I have always done well in school, and like to read, this volunteer opportunity works well for me and is very convenient. I also spent some time teaching English to Pittsburgh residents who want to learn. They sent me out with another language instructor so I wasn't on my own. That experience was rewarding as well.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

watching my reading student grow in Reading. He also started a demolition business during the time we were together. That is his "day job."

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Gee..., I would wave my magic wand and shower more resources on GPLC to make sure the professional staff has what it needs to serve more people.

Role:  Volunteer & I am teaching someone how to read. I also taught English to people who don't know English.
