The Literacy Center is dedicated to improving adult literacy and education thereby strengthening our community. We seek to solve the problem of adult illiteracy within our community by offering free reading education and confidential tutoring, which is customized to the needs of our students. Our goal is to help them become more employable, financially stable and self-sufficient through mastering essential reading skills. We offer literacy education through computer-based instruction, an education coordinator, workshops and private tutoring. Our volunteer tutors tailor their sessions to the student's individual needs and include using functional materials such as grocery store ads, employment applications, medical information, checkbooks, and textbooks. This educational component of functional materials allows them to increase life skills required for independent living. The Literacy Center is located in Vanderburgh County, and we currently accept students that live in Vanderburgh, Warrick and Posey Counties. We collaborate with the Adult Education Group of Region 11 to assist with their low-level learners in Dubois, Gibson, Knox, Perry, Pike, and Spencer Counties.
