My friend Drew recommended that I highlight Washington Literacy Council in this space. Drew used to serve as their general counsel, and other friends of mine have volunteered as tutors through WLC.
Washington Literacy Council offers a variety of programs for adult learners, each based on research and best practices. Tutors receive training before being paired with students. The WLC is expanding its outreach to young adults age 18-30 in order to have secondary impact on their children's school achievement. And what strikes me the most is their Family Literacy Workshops. These workshops help parents, many of whom did not have a strong background of reading at home with their own parents, to know how to build their children's early reading skills. The workshops meet at schools with parents and their children to learn techniques and read together.
If you'd like to contribute to the Washington Literacy Council to support the Family Literacy Workshops and other programs, you can do so here.
Good day, is this exact blog is your sole website or you in addition to that have some more?
