Adult Education Center Volunteer Coordinator VISTA
 
 
 
About 1 in 5 Houston adults is considered illiterate, experiencing difficulty in completing tasks such as filling out job applications. The goal of the Houston Adult Literacy Project is to build the capacity of adult education and literacy organizations in Houston, which support low-income, low literacy adult learners to help them to obtain and grow the skills they need to become self-sufficient and improve their qualities of life. The Adult Education Center's mission is to Engage, Educate, and Empower communities of adult learners by advancing literacy skills and employment opportunities to better achieve a better quality of life. Their vision is where continued education improves lives and builds better communities. Adult Education Center is a service hub that employs a comprehensive, learner-centered approach that elevates adult learners from the lowest levels of literacy and English speaking to obtaining a High School Equivalency (HSE) Credential/Certificate, securing their citizenship, earning a living wage, and becoming contributing members of their community.
