Literacy Council Of Grand Island Inc

THE MISSION OF THE LITERACY COUNCIL OF GRAND ISLAND IS TO TEACH THE LITERACY SKILLS NECESSARY TO COMMUNICATE, GROW, AND THRIVE WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. THROUGH ALL OF OUR PROGRAMMING, WE SEEK TO BUILD BRIDGES THAT UNITE OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITY AND PURSUE OUR VISION OF CREATING A STRONGER, BETTER-CONNECTED, MORE PROSPEROUS COMMUNITY. THE PROPOSED VISTA PROJECT ALIGNS WITH THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOCUS AREA. THE VISTA PROJECT WILL SEEK TO LEVERAGE RESOURCES, INCREASE ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS, AND EXPAND OUR ORGANIZATION'S SCALE AND REACH, PROVIDING BENEFIT TO AT LEAST 125 LOW-LITERACY INDIVIDUALS. THREE VISTA MEMBERS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE GOALS OF THE PROJECT BY PERFORMING ACTIVITIES SUCH AS IMPLEMENTING STUDENT ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES, IMPROVING AND PROVIDING TRAINING ON CURRICULA, CONDUCTING VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT, CREATING NEW PROCESSES FOR VOLUNTEER TRAINING AND SUPPORT, AND CREATING OUTREACH CONTENT TO INCREASE COMMUNITY AWARENESS AND ENGAGEMENT OVER THE COURSE OF THREE YEARS.
