The Purpose of Alexandria Literacy Project

The purpose of the Alexandria Literacy Project includes the following:

to recruit and tutor adults who want to improve their basic reading, writing, spelling and/or math skills;
to tutor adults originally from other countries who want to improve their English listening, speaking, reading and writing skills;
to train volunter tutors and literacy leaders;
to promote and encourage this teaching and training.

ALP services are provided through a network of support volunteers and volunteer tutors who are trained to work one-to-one with adult learners privately at home or at a community site. The ALP is an associate program of the Minnesota Literacy Council and cooperates with a network of community programs to meet the needs of adult learners in Douglas County, Minnesota and area communities. The ALP is also a Volunteer Program Affiliate of ProLiteracy America, a national volunteer organization.
