Volunteer: Board Member PositionsThe Literacy Coalition of Colorado (LCC) aims to connect and support non-profit adult education providers throughout the state. We do this by providing training for tutors and teachers (volunteer and paid), by offering networking opportunities for adult educators, by providing information on adult literacy on our website, by sending informational emails to our membership, and by advocating for increased funding for adult education. Colorado is one of the lowest-funded states in foundational adult education, including emerging literacy, high school equivalency (GED or HiSET), English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), US Citizenship exam preparation, and digital literacy. LCC seeks to fill seats on the board with people who align with these aims along with our vision, mission, and values. Vision: We envision a Colorado where more service providers connect with adult learners and have what they need to support students. Mission: Literacy Coalition of Colorado promotes and fosters adult education in Colorado because we recognize the importance of literacy for people to thrive in their communities.
