Onslow Literacy Council helping adults learn to read.
Reading is a skill that many people learn in grade school, but when its adults that need to learn how to read, they may not know where to turn for help. Thats where local literacy councils can step in to help, and tutors say its never too late to learn.
OLC Stars Shine
We are very proud of our student, LaVerne Mendez. She is a student of Kimberly Rey and started out without much confidence in her ability to learn. She has indeed come a long way. In the picture you can see her speaking during our Once Upon A Time Gala, 2020...with confidence!!!
She is excited to be with the OLC Program and wants to give back in whatever way she can. She made a Queen size Quilt to be auctioned off during the event! We are very fortunate to have such students & also very fortunate to have their support.

Jonathan is a shy young man with varied interests and accomplishments. He likes music, some art, has written a story and a poem. Jonathan can give you some facts about states that he is interested in, information he has researched on the OLC's student's computer. He retains that information and is happy to pass it on to others.
Jonathan's tutor is Miss Barbara. |
With her tutor, Susan B. Thomas's, assistance, she is learning to communicate with confidence, to overcome the shyness brought on by experiences in her early years.
