Mission Statement

We are committed to the personal growth of our students.
This means that we help people acquire basic literary skills, and by doing so enable them to achieve broader personal goals. It also means that personal needs have preference over organizational needs. Our tutoring is confidential individual and student centered, at sites convenient to the student.

We are committed to the effective use of volunteers.
Through training and support, we help build the skills and abilities that enable volunteers to grow and succeed. Through pursuit of the mission, volunteers find satisfaction and fulfillment.

We are committed to improving our society.
We recognize as an integral element in the broader goal of economics opportunity and security, social justice and dignity for all. We support others who make a commitment to provide all citizens with access to effective literary services.

We are committed to strengthening and improving our organization.
We will continue to search for efficiency and creativity in the delivery of our program; to grow and expand in order to stem the rising tide of illiteracy; to discover new ways of harnessing society's existing resources for the achievement of literacy and to remain responsive to our students' needs.
