The mission of the C.E.F.S. Literacy Program is to help adults and families meet their literacy goals in reading, writing, math, English, and life skills and to promote education and lifelong learning as the key to personal, economic, and social stability.

​

Adults 17 and older receive free tutoring services:

​

  • Reading (newspapers, product labels, letters from school, doctor’s instructions, street signs, recipes, etc.)

  • Writing (filling out job applications, completing forms)

  • Math (balancing bank accounts, counting money,  measuring, understanding bills)

  • Building skills to prepare for a high school equivalency test (GED, TASC, HiSET).

  • Learning English as a new language.  We’ve had learners from China, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Egypt, Ethiopia, Poland, Sudan, Syria, Thailand, and more!

 

Trained volunteer tutors provide the instruction.
