Literatcy Outreach is a local, non-profit agency combating illiteracy in Garfield County, Colorado.  Our mission is to teach essential literacy skills to adults.  Through professionally trained volunteer tutors, we provide free one-on-one instruction to adults with reading skills below the 4th grade level.  Achieving a functional literacy level leads to improved employment status, enhanced self-esteem and greater self-sufficiency.

Literacy Outreach serves students such as Reyna, a single mom from Chihuahua, Mexico.  Her commitment to learning English has been an example for other students.  Reyna and her dedicated tutor often met for class twice a week for two hours a session.  She was promoted from cashier to Assistant Manager and is now the manager of a local gas station and convenience store.  Reyna went from being a shy learner to a teacher of other students.  She often translates for new workers and encourages them to speak English at work.  Reyna has also referred her co-workers for tutoring.
