Vision Literacy learners are adults over 16 years-old who are not enrolled in school; Vision Litearcy learners are conversant in English. Although many have completed high school and are employed, their skills fall below high school level. They often enter a Vision Literacy program after a major life change demonstrates the importance of the written word. For instance, they may want to help their children with schoolwork. Or they may recognize the link between literacy and improving their own job situation. If you know someone who can benefit from improving his or her basic literacy skills, learn more info on how you can help. Who are the tutors?
The success of our programs lies in the training and dedication of our volunteer tutors. Vision Literacy tutors come from diverse backgrounds, professions and educational levels. They receive training and support as they work with adult learners who want to upgrade their literacy skills. The lessons they use often incorporate real-life learner experiences from work, home, and personal life. Tutoring sessions take place at community libraries or other public locations.
