My Nonprofit Reviews

Project Literacy of Greater Bergen County has been raising awareness regarding adult literacy for well over thirty years. I have been with the organization since its inception when the group began as a simple task force to address adult literacy needs in the area, and how adults can get help to learn to read. Today Project Literacy not only strives in the community on the awareness issue, but also trains volunteer adults to tutor adults in basic reading, writing, math, ESL and high school equivalency needs. The trained volunteer tutors are very dedicated to their students which they serve 1-1, or sometimes in a small group of 2-3. The pandemic has not slowed them down - they have simply shifted gears and work through technical ways. The strong focus of the staff keeps the program humming, and the constant support of the Board of Trustees is vital . The student success stories are numerous and very touching. I am very pleased to remain a part of Project Literacy.
