How will you celebrate National Volunteer Week?

National Volunteer Week, April 19 - 24, is a time to celebrate the contributions of volunteers across the nation. Here at the Minnesota Literacy Council, we applaud the myriad of literacy volunteers giving their time and skills in adult basic education programs across the state.

Thank you for empowering adult learners to reach their learning goals!

"It’s hard to identify one element of volunteering which stands out among so many. Working with adult students who are so eager to learn fills me with a sense of purpose and joy; it has been a very energizing, meaningful experience."

Student authors to share their work

School was on break this week, but I wanted to share this upcoming event. It's quite inspiring, and you get the chance to meet and support adult learners!

Journeys Reading
Adult learners from diverse programs throughout Minnesota will come together to share their voices in celebration of MLC's annual publication, Journeys: An Anthology of Adult Student Writings. Honor their dedication and hard work as they read original stories, poems and autobiographical pieces.
