Chinese Community Center Community Engagement VISTA
 
 
 
About 1 in 5 Houston adults is considered illiterate, having trouble 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 quality of life. The Chinese Community Center is a multi-ethnic organization serving all Houstonians. Their mission is to bridge East and West by enriching families with educational, cultural, and social service programs. We serve diverse cultures, diverse generations, and diverse needs. Their staff speaks English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, and Spanish. Act against adult illiteracy by serving with the Chinese Community Center as a Community Engagement VISTA!
