 Literacy Ambassadors Share Their Feedback

 "This program is very beneficial to adult learners who want to share their story with others. Those who want to help inspire others will receive the training and courage they need to both speak to groups and communicate the issues of literacy in everyday conversation."

Monica Baxley, Adult Learner

 "The program is just fabulous! It really helps people get over the jitters of talking in front of people and helps you become comfortable communicating the issue of literacy to others."
