Literacy Council Schedules Training Sessions

The Lincoln Intermediate Unit #12's Adams County Literacy Council invites volunteers to share the gift of their time and talents to help fill an overwhelming number of requests for English-as-a-Second Language (ESL) tutors. Consider becoming involved by attending training led by Rosie Bolen and Jan Powers the weekend of July 6, 7, and 8. After completing all sessions, participants receive ProLiteracy Worldwide certification and are matched with adult students to help improve reading, writing, conversation, or listening skills. In addition to one-to-one pairings, the ACLC appreciates volunteer interest in working with inmates at the Adams County Adult Correctional Complex.

Fluency in a language other than English is not necessary in order to tutor. Act 48 credit is available. The $25 registration fee also includes a resource book chock full of activities, games and lesson plans, and other take home materials. For more information or to register please contact the Literacy Council at 334-3065, or stop by the office at 34 Foth Alley in Gettysburg (near the fire hall).
