Our Vision and History

We care about our community.  Literacy is highly valued and is achievable for all.  Two decades of success! Our goal is to improve the reading, writing, and arithmetic abilities of low-income students and adults who struggle with literacy skills.  We accomplish this with volunteer tutors using research-based methodologies.
