 Literacy*Americorps Central Texas
Literacy*AmeriCorps Central Texas is a national service program that recruits recent college graduates to provide literacy services to adults, children and youth in our community. This literacy focused Corps will contribute over 31,000 hours each service year by providing tutoring, teaching, reading enrichment activities for children, English as a Second Language instruction, Adult Basic Education instruction, recruiting community volunteers to participate in literacy instruction, and participating in community service projects.
In return for their year of national service, participants in this program, known as Literacy*AmeriCorps members, receive a modest living allowance, an education award and health insurance. Literacy*AmeriCorps provides opportunities for leadership development, professional growth and resume building. The time these men and women give to literacy programs is invaluable and life changing.
