The Literacy Project reaches the whole community. The Literacy Project makes a commitment to the communities we work within. Each learning center has a culture of it’s own, reflecting the unique nature of each region we work in. Full-time instructors incorporate community building into their daily work. |

In the classroom, we begin with the needs and concerns of the students. Community issues become the basis of the curriculum, and students develop academic skills while tackling real-life problems. In Orange, for example, students chose to address the lack of public transportation in the North Quabbin region. After many years of studying the problem, raising public awareness, and collaborating to come up with creative solutions, their efforts paid off: the Regional Transit Authority instituted bus service between Gardner, Orange and Greenfield, linking Orange and Athol residents to jobs, services, and shopping centers. |
