Literacy ConneXus Development VISTA
 
 
 
Literacy Connexus advises and assists in literacy projects throughout the state of Texas. We are a growing network of leaders, volunteers, and partners working together to provide support and direction to literacy projects, using resources and manpower from—as much as is possible–the local community. Literacy ConneXus provides training to prepare volunteers to teach English as a Second Language to adults. We conduct weekend workshops in various locations, led by our TEX (Teaching English with Excellence) team, each spring and fall. We also provide assistance and resources to promote family literacy. Our Ready for School! curriculum assists refugee families in preparing their children for American schools. Through What's for Lunch? we partner with congregations to provide access to books for children participating in summer meal programs. Literacy ConneXus consults with job readiness programs in Texas to provide training and resources to organizations facilitating re-entry into the workforce. We advocate for people with language and literacy needs at the local, state, and federal level, and encourage all to join in this endeavor. Our goal is to improve lives and futures by raising awareness and addressing the language and literacy needs of individuals. Literacy ConneXus is in Fort Worth, TX.
