The Literacy Network of Greater Cincinnati

Dan Vance

In order to tutor local residents who are learning to read at a higher level, I attended a training class. The staff is friendly and professional. If you are considering volunteering, this is a terrific opportunity to help others. For many, that opens up job possibilities as well as enriching their lives. There are an estimated 400,000 illiterate people in the Greater Cincinnati area (that includes parts of Indiana, Kentucky, and north to Dayton, OH). And that is not a typo. In addition to adults, I assume this includes kids in the 4th-12th grades who are not reading at the 4th grade level or above. Even is this estimate is off and there is only 1/10th of that, there are 40,000 people who could use a hand.
