Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The World Literacy Crusade's Community Learning Center is a volunteer organization that provides tutoring in the areas of reading, comprehension and study skills.  The population serviced by the program come from communities that have incidences of high crime and low income.  The program works with both children and adults and focuses on working to increase the literacy of entire families.

Provides tutoring in the areas of reading, comprehension and study skills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

To take 100 children and adults through our community-based literacy program. Students will be taught to read fluently, use a dictionary and basic study skills. Parents will gain skills which they can use to help their own children with their school work. Our plan is to fully document the results of our program and our methodology with the intention of eventually opening up Community Learning Centers around the State.
