Volunteer Appreciation Week

Did you know that Literacy Action has over 200 volunteers who help us serve our students?

Volunteer Appreciation Week is during the month of April, and we are gearing up for a celebration of those who help further our mission and empower students every day.

Our Teachers Brag On You Too!

Because of Maya's experience, the class is able to be split into different groups to differentiate and provide more targeted instruction. Her energy, rapport, and ability to contextualize and explain material is fantastic. She is definitely making an impact!
