NO NEW WHEELS, BUT A NEW MONTGOMERY CITY JAIL LITERACY MINISTRY

It's one thing to want to save the world.  That's reasonable.  It's another thing to try to reinvent the wheel.  That's unnecessary. 

As part of the continuing in-reach ministry to the Montgomery Municipal Jail, we will be bringing adult literacy classes to the local and federal inmates incarcerated there. Rather than unnecessarily reinventing a program from the ground up, we were blessed to connect with an existing program. 

All we need now is for you and/or the people you know to sign up to help.  The only requirements are that you be at least18 years old, responsible, literate, and able to pass a criminal background check.  Training starts March 23rd. 

Here are the details for training.  When you sign up, let them know that you want to participate in the Montgomery City Jail Literacy Program.

CENTRAL ALABAMA LAUBACH LITERACY COUNCIL
2048 WEST FAIRVIEW AVENUE
MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA 36108-4198
264-1239

The Central Alabama Laubach Literacy (C. A. L. L.) Council is a nonprofit volunteer organization. We train adults to tutor other adults in basic reading, writing and spelling. C. A. L. L. began in 1985. Since that time we have served hundreds of adults in the Montgomery area who wanted to improve their basic reading skills.

If at all possible, we ask volunteers to make a commitment of one year. Once you have completed the tutor training workshop, you will be matched with an adult learner. Tutoring usually takes place twice a week for an hour-and-a-half each session. All materials will be provided for the tutor and adult learner.

The next workshop will be held:
Saturdays, March 23 & April 6, 2013
9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  BOTH DAYS

Participants must attend ALL SESSIONS to become certified.

This workshop is scheduled to be held at:
C.A.L.L.
St. Jude, 2048 W. Fairview Avenue, Montgomery, AL 36108

Note: Since the lunch period is half hour, we recommend that you bring a sack lunch.  And, the room can be cool, so bring a sweater.

So that we can adequately prepare for this workshop, complete the registration form and submit it to C. A. L. L., 2048 West Fairview Ave. Montgomery, AL 36108. For further information or to cancel your registration, please call the Adult Literacy Center at (334) 264-1239.
