Steve has recently been matched with learners Maria and Gerardo, and we are grateful for his willingness to share his time, knowledge, and encouragement. Volunteer tutors play an important role in helping adult learners build confidence, strengthen their English skills, and achieve their personal goals.

Today at our Noon Optimist meeting, we had the pleasure of meeting Karin Monzon Krimmer, Executive Director of the Literacy Council of Green County.
The Literacy Council (501 (c) (3) non profit, was founded in 1997 and has been self funded with donations and grants since 2014. Karin, a Guatemalan native, arrived in the US in 2002 and came to Monroe in 2006. She has been with the Literacy Council since 2020.

The mission statement of the Green County Literacy Council is, “ Empowering adult learners with the English language, one word at a time.”

They are located on the second floor of the Monroe Public Library, and at the present time have 28 tutors and 72 adult learners. Those enrolled to learn English are natives of over 10 countries. At the present time, there are 11 or more on the waiting list.
Volunteers are always needed, if you have questions, call 608-293-3161 (text messages are encouraged.)

Soy una madre latina, emprendedora y servidora comunitaria comprometida con el crecimiento y bienestar de nuestra comunidad en Green County. A través de mi experiencia como fundadora de Fuerza Hispana of Green County, participante de Green County Leaders y dueña de un negocio comunitario bilingüe, he tenido la oportunidad de acompañar a pequeños emprendedores en sus primeros pasos, ayudándolos a creer en sus ideas y convertirlas en oportunidades reales.

Hoy, como Bilingual Small Business Consultant, mi propósito es seguir sirviendo de una manera cercana, sencilla y humana. Ofrezco orientación gratuita en creación de planes de negocio, registro de LLC, obtención de EIN, seguimiento en aplicaciones para préstamos y conexión con recursos adecuados según las necesidades de cada negocio.

Creo firmemente que cuando compartimos información, apoyo y oportunidades, ayudamos a crecer no solo negocios… sino familias y comunidades enteras.

También los invito a seguir la página de Fuerza Hispana of Green County, un espacio enfocado en el desarrollo educativo, el crecimiento económico y la conexión de recursos para nuestra comunidad hispana y todos aquellos que desean emprender y salir adelante juntos.
