Literacy is the currency of hope.
Who We Are
We believe everyone deserves the chance to read well, speak well, and live well. If every man, woman and child could read, write, and comprehend, our nation would be much closer to solving many of the social problems that face us. The Literacy Project of Eagle County is a non-profit 501c3 organization that provides all levels of English language tutoring to adults and children through volunteerism and financial support. Adult, Middle School, and Family & Children programs are available FREE.
Our programs are based on the whole language philosophy of teaching, which emphasizes individualized lesson plans based on social needs and using real life materials such as newspapers and job applications. Students set their own education and life goals, which may include securing a job, getting a driver’s license, and reading to their children.
Instruction is practical, relevant to each student’s life, and capitalizes on both life experiences and knowledge.
