Adult education plays a pivotal role in enabling equitable access to societal resources, employment opportunities and full participation in community life. LLCC Adult Education will celebrate by spreading awareness and advocacy.
- Adult education classes allow community adults to enhance their reading, writing, math, English speaking, computer and employability skills for career advancement and to study for citizenship for free.
- An estimated 24,785 adults in the LLCC district have less than a 12th grade education or need to learn the English language. This population is often unemployed or underemployed.
- Adults who participate in adult education programs have higher incomes resulting in more spending and tax revenue for communities.
How can you help?
One person can make a difference for one hour per week! Become a volunteer tutor!
Volunteers are needed to help adults improve their reading, math, writing and/or English language skills. If you are patient, enthusiastic and have a desire to help others, please consider volunteering as a tutor.
Volunteers must be at least 18 years old with a high school diploma or its equivalent. LLCC will provide training, materials and resources for tutoring. The time commitment will be a minimum of one hour a week (although some volunteer for two or three hours per week), and times are flexible based on each tutor’s availability. Tutors primarily work with students Monday through Friday but can also volunteer on the weekend.
