Needs From: United Way of Coastal Carolina

Craven Literacy Council truly depends on volunteers. Our small staff leverages the talent and time of over a hundred community members each year to meet the needs of adult learners, conduct special events, and complete all administrative duties. Volunteer instructors and training team members are the front line to fighting adult illiteracy. The Council’s Board of Directors are all volunteers; they provide oversight and resource development for the organization as a whole. Volunteers work with staff to raise awareness, coordinate fundraisers and other events, and keep our building and grounds intact.  Volunteers are also needed to help with events such as the Daddy Daughter Sweetheart Ball in February.

CLC can always use donations of reams of copy paper, paper towels, toilet paper, and WalMart or Staples gift cards.  If you have a laptop that you are no longer using, we can get it refurbished to give to our hardworking students who can't afford to purchase one.  Especially during these times, donations of hand sanitizer, face masks, and cleaning wipes are especially appreciated.

Craven Literacy Council has a waiting list of students needing tutors, and we welcome volunteers interested in becoming tutors. Our 15-hour workshop trains volunteer tutors to work with adults who need help with basic literacy skills, or who want to learn to speak and understand English.  The workshop will provide participants with teaching techniques and materials that will prepare them to tutor with the council.
