Literacy Nassau recruits and trains volunteers who provide tutoring to adults. The uniqueness of our programs is the learner-centered approach our tutors take with students.
We have two separate programs- a Basic Literacy program, which dupports native-boarn non-literates, and an English-As-A-Second-Language program which supports those fluent in other languages.
It is almost inconceivable to the liaterate American how totally disenfranchising non-literacy can be to those who live in our socieity. Our 350 volunteer tutors work a minimum of 2 hours a week with their charges; and we have another 290 on our waiting list!.
