Vision Literacy

Leadership Development Program

Beyond the basics
Once their basic reading and writing improve, many learners are eager to take on new challenges. Now they want to make a contribution of their own, setting positive examples for learners just beginning to acquire literacy skills.

The Henry Huffman Leadership Institute
The Henry Huffman Leadership Institute (HHLI) is a six-month leadership development program for these advanced learners. HHLI students build self-esteem while acquiring public-speaking skills, research techniques, and learning styles. They also learn elements of fundraising, advocacy and special events production.

Developing learners' leadership skills helps enable them to:

Become better role models for their families
Assume leadership roles at work
Participate in community activities and decision-making
Advocate for resources for adult learners

HHLI learners take part in every facet of the leadership. Learner-driven activities are the order of the day. HHLI graduates keep their skills active by facilitating and co-presenting sessions for new learners. In this and so many other ways they go on to make an impact in others' lives.

Success that participants achieve increases potential to:

Speak out effectively on community issues
Act as spokespersons for literacy causes
Serve as literacy organization board members at local, state and national levels
Advocate to include literacy issues on political agendas

Henry Huffman Leadership Institute is in memory of Henry Huffman, a dedicated learner leader who devoted his life to spreading awareness of literacy in the community.
