Greetings fantastic tutors and amazing learners!
Starting this month I will be sending out a monthly newsletter to all Project Literacy learners and tutors. I have noticed that it is difficult to facilitate communication among tutors, learners, and myself during this time of shelter-in-place, so I hope the newsletter will help to repair the lack of communication by sharing news and information with you all on a consistent basis.
We will be getting a Facebook group for Project Literacy very soon, so that will also help all of us feel more connected to one another and to Project Literacy. And starting in late August, Project Literacy will be hosting a monthly drop-in Project Literacy Social Hour on Zoom for all tutors, learners, and myself to get together and talk about what books we're reading, what we're watching on TV, what music we're listening to, and any other light conversation topic (great for learners to practice conversation skills!). Soon there will be lots of new ways we can connect with one another!
We have 2 new volunteer tutors who completed online tutor training in June and we have 5 new learners on the waiting list to be paired with a tutor for online tutoring. In early August we will have another round of online tutor training for new tutors. Our program is growing slowly but surely!
As always, you can email or call me (510-577-3944) if you need any tutoring support.
Hope you all are staying healthy!
