Free Adult Reading Classes
Read to Learn is an adult literacy program offering free adult reading classes at locations throughout our community.

Trained volunteer tutors provide one-to-one tutoring to help adult learners with basic reading and writing skills. Learners must have basic English-speaking skills.
Students may attend one location only.
