"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." ~C.S. Lewis

The mission of the Adult Reading Center is to provide free instruction to adults with limited English literacy skills. We provide a nurturing environment that improves reading, writing and basic communication skills in order to help equip:
•Parents with the language skills needed to empower their children; and
•All adults with the language skills needed to succeed in the workplace.

We do this by providing classroom instruction, individual tutoring, and computer-based training. We partner with community organizations that provide opportunities to transition into career training.
