And here is how we started July: with gratitude for our tutor Tina, who continues to support our learner Ana as she works toward her goal of preparing for the U.S. citizenship exam and interview.

Thank you to all of our volunteer tutors, partners, supporters, and our Board of Directors for helping us move forward with the mission of the Literacy Council. Your support makes this work possible.
