UNITED WAY WEDNESDAY FEATURED AGENCY: THE CLARK COUNTY LITERACY COALITION

The Clark County Literacy Coalition (CCLC) is dedicated to increasing the level of functional literacy among the people of Clark County and surrounding areas. The CCLC has four literacy programs: Basic Literacy, English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), Teaching Children to Read (TCR) and Certified Tutor Training. Basic Literacy, ESOL and Certified Tutor Training are all funded by United Way. Additionally, these programs include orientations, pre- and post- assessments, and disability screenings for vision/hearing and visual stress. Once complete, students are paired one-on-one with a tutor. This allows for lessons to be tailored to the individual student’s need/goals. Certified Tutor Training trains and provides certified tutors to the CCLC, after-school programs, churches, and community organizations. READ MORE... #UNITEDWAYWEDNESDAY
