TUTOR.
VOLUNTEER.
One in four
adults in Prince George's County hide the fact
that they struggle to read. They sign permission
slips that they don’t understand, carry
newspapers they can’t decipher, and memorize
routes so they don’t have to read maps.
The Literacy Council of Prince George’s County
helps these adults find the support they need –
with more than 40 classes and programs in basic
reading, high school diploma preparation,
English language, and family literacy.
Now, let’s find you a role:
