23-24 Literacy AmeriCorps Palm Beach County

Literacy AmeriCorps is a project of the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County. Areas of service within our program include elementary tutoring, graduation coaching/mentorship, and adult ESOL and employability facilitation. In Palm Beach County, more than 22% of the adult population functions at the lowest level of literacy and lacks the basic skills needed for today's world. Almost 40% of children entering fourth grade are unable to read at grade level. Illiteracy cuts through all social, racial and cultural barriers. Our joint mission is to achieve literacy to improve the quality of life in our large and highly diverse community. Literacy AmeriCorps members address this need by providing tutoring, mentoring and related literacy services at sites located throughout Palm Beach County. These sites include community based schools, after school programs, family literacy programs and community agencies. The team also serves the community in a variety of other capacities by completing service projects on the weekends, answering the call to assistance with disaster-related services as needed. Members come from all over the USA to serve in sunny Palm Beach County. Members are responsible for securing housing accommodations independently; access to reliable transportation is highly recommended (public transportation is available in Palm Beach County).
