Learn to Read of St. Johns County
- Learn to Read of St. Johns County
Learn to Read of St. Johns County, Fla., was founded by local members of the American Association of University Women in 1986 as a grassroots organization dedicated to teaching reading, writing and math skills to adults (16 years and up).
The volunteer-based organization provides free literacy skills assessment and instruction to underserved people in St. Augustine, Fla., and surrounding cities. In addition to one-on-one Laubach method literacy tutoring, Learn to Read has recently expanded its services to English-as-a-Second-Language instruction and group conversation courses.
The 501-(c)(3) non-profit organization's services have become increasingly important due to explosive population growth in St. Johns County. Literacy skills have become especially vital for the lower-income workforce there as St. Johns County becomes one of the highest-income counties in the United States and the area's cost-of-living soars.
