Who We Are |
The Juvenile Literacy Center (JLC) provides direct one-on-one tutoring to court-involved youth. The program serves students ages 6 to 17 who are referred to the program by Juvenile Court, or other Agencies. Students who participate in this program receive individualized instruction to improve their reading, writing and math skills.
Our program is designed so that students will come to know success. The National Adult Literacy Survey reports a direct correlation between low literacy proficiency and poverty, homelessness and unemployment. Therefore, it is important to address literacy problems as soon as possible. The JLC is designed to improve literacy skills and cultivate both academic and personal success for court-involved youth. |
