When children thrive, communities can thrive. United Way of Greater Atlanta is focusing on ensuring every child has the opportunity to reach his or her full potential. Communities that can say, “All the children are well” have babies born healthy, kids who read proficiently by 3rd grade and teens who graduate from high school ready for college and careers. These are kids that grow up in communities where people are educated, employed, and housed. With our partners (and you!) we can ensure this is a thriving community. We and our nonprofit, business, volunteer, donor, government and foundation partners work to improve the living situations for all. We understand the needs of the community and encourage action – whether through contributing time, talent or treasure. No one can do it alone. That`s why we LIVE UNITED!
The Literacy Center is dedicated to improving adult literacy and education thereby strengthening our community. We seek to solve the problem of adult illiteracy within our community by offering free reading education and confidential tutoring, which is customized to the needs of our students. Our goal is to help them become more employable, financially stable and self-sufficient through mastering essential reading skills. We offer literacy education through computer-based instruction, an education coordinator, workshops and private tutoring. Our volunteer tutors tailor their sessions to the student`s individual needs and include using functional materials such as grocery store ads, employment applications, medical information, checkbooks, and textbooks. This educational component of functional materials allows them to increase life skills required for independent living.
