Hosted by Literacy Program Coordinator Georgina Marie Guardado and facilitated by Lake County Literacy Coalition Board Member Pam Klier, participants will learn useful techniques for teaching adults to read and write.
Bilingual Spanish speakers are encouraged to attend to support adult learners interested in learning English for the first time. Volunteer tutors are also needed for our Lake County Jail tutoring program.
No experience is needed and ongoing support and workshops are provided for tutors. Upon completion of the training, tutors will be matched with adult learners in a variety of settings around the county. Those who would like to help adults improve their literacy skills are encouraged to attend.
More than 43 million adults in the United States cannot read, write, or do basic math above a third-grade level, according to the ProLiteracy organization.
A new year is a great time to set goals and learn new skills. Yet low reading and writing abilities stop many adults from going after their goals.
Learn how to support someone in achieving their goals by increasing their literacy skills. A Family Literacy program is also available to encourage family engagement and early literacy.

On April 26 the group will host their Mad Hatter's event, which is an annual favorite.
This event is the biggest fundraising event for the club and will be held at the fairgrounds in Lakeport.
It promises to be a fun event with a baseball theme of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.”
As always, there will be beautiful baskets of donated items to raffle off, a silent auction and a live auction as well as a delicious luncheon.
The ladies are preparing their favorite ballcaps for the hat parade and I'm sure there will be prizes for some of the most creative entries.
All of this is done in order to provide donations to many worthy projects in the Lake County community.
This year, the group has made donations to the Military Funeral Honors Team, Lake Family Resource Center, Toys for Tots, Operation Tango Mike, high school athletic programs, three $1,200 scholarships and more.
To reach their goal of supporting the community the ladies will be soliciting donations from many businesses and individuals in order to offer beautiful baskets and items for the silent and live auctions.
Anyone interested in supporting this worthwhile project is welcome to contact any Lake County Women's Civic Club member or call Tricia Frazer at 702-325-5675.
