Come and learn about the programs and opportunities at Ozark Literacy Council and how you can get involved by joining us for our community open house on September 17th from 11 AM-1 PM during NWA's Welcoming Week!

This year's theme for NWA Welcoming Week is "The Places We Share".

Ozark Literacy Council is the second home to many of our staff, students, volunteers, friends and family. We want to make sure that everybody we know understands how important our organization is to us, not only as a place of learning, but also as a bridge to build connections with the rest of our community!

Please come join us as we engage with students, staff, volunteers, you and our families over some food, both provided by our students, staff and volunteers as well as some hot dogs cooked on-site if you don't find enough options available for you!

See you there!

Don't forget! OLC has In-Home ESL Tutor Training on August 26th from 5:30-7:30 PM.

In June, we hosted our first In-Home specific training, and now we have 5 amazing volunteers who are going into local homes once weekly and serving students from countries such as Afghanistan, Liberia, and Guatemala in their journeys to learning English.

But we are still seeking more volunteer tutors, so we can continue meeting the needs of our other students on the waitlist. These students from refugee backgrounds, are very motivated to begin their studies with your support!

While most of our students attend in-person classes at OLC, others face challenges such as transportation, childcare, work schedules, or health concerns that prevent them from participating in traditional classroom programs.

In-home tutoring allows us to bring learning directly to these students and families. It is one of the most impactful volunteer opportunities we offer because it provides personalized instruction while helping students build confidence, independence, and connections within our community.

Fill out our volunteer interest form and RSVP to our In-Home Tutor Coordinator to attend!

We're sharing the love of learning and literacy with the community!

It is that time of the year where we team up with Adventure Subaru to share books with the community in Northwest Arkansas. We'll be filling up Little Free Libraries with many of the books that the community has kindly donated to us.

If you would like to participate in this initiative, you can stop by OLC and we will provide you with some books to fill a Little Free Library near you.
