The Literacy Center

The Literacy Center Our mission is to improve adult literacy and education, thereby strengthening our community. Depending on availability occasionally we may have a waiting list.

The first step is for the adult seeking help to call and make an appointment for an entry appointment. The entry appointment helps us determine skills level and history with reading. After that initial 1-2 hour appointment, the student attends an orientation to determine goals and a plan of action around the barriers that have prevented them from reaching their goals. Then the student will work i

n the Literacy Lab at our center for a minimum of 12 hours, after completion of 12 hours of lab work with our education coordinator the student will be matched with a tutor. Since our tutors are volunteers and must be recruited and trained, the waiting period varies. The student must make a one-year commitment to improve his/her reading skills. Once he is matched with a tutor, they will work together 2 times a week for about an hour each session. Typically, our tutors and student meet at libraries or churches, or other public locations that have a private study area. Meeting in the student’s home or the tutor’s home is prohibited.

If you have a minute, head on over to Downtown Evansville Indiana page and vote in their Dog Day Photo Contest. We aren't impartial or anything but we think Pretzel might be a good vote!

This is Pretzel. He's a 2 year old mixed breed rescue of American Bulldog and Pitbull. Pretzel has the best smiles, loves cuddles and chasing after his 5 doggie brothers and sisters!
