Lumpkin County Adult Literacy Program

Lumpkin Adult Literacy Program

The percentage of adult non-readers in Lumpkin County is high. To help combat adult literacy, the Lumpkin County Literacy Coalition and Lanier Technical College have joined forces to support the Adult Literacy Program (ALP).

ALP's goals are threefold:

1. To advance Lumpkin residents' quality of life in general through reading - Newspapers, books, The Bible, magazines, books to children, and virtually anything of high quality in print.

2. To aid in people's personal and family economic development such as job placement and improvement, completing applications and forms, shopping and every day living activities, and furthering educational ambitions.

3. To serve as a means of interested individuals continuing their education.

ALP is a confidential service that is FREE of charge. We have a staff of volunteer tutors who work one-on-one with our students.

Volunteering in this program is rewarding work. You will work with people who could use a break; many are working, caring for families, and trying to improve their reading skills.

The return to the community goes well beyond the benefit to the individual. We are enriching human capital, empowering people to become contributors to society, not consumers of entitlement programs or subjects in our courts.
