I just finished training to be a literacy tutor through Project Read, the adult literacy program of the SF Public Library.
 
The Library estimates that 80,000 San Francisco adults -- one in every five -- have some difficulty with basic reading and writing. Project Read provides free one-to-one tutoring, workshops, and ongoing instructional support to thousands of these adults.
 
The next round of tutor training classes starts soon, so call right now -- (415) 557-4388 -- to sign up.
 
If you don't live in San Francisco, you can find other programs all over the Bay Area.
 
And of course, your donations -- either through individual contributions, United Way drives, or your business donating its services -- are vital to the program's survival.
 
Who's with me?
