The student being highlighted was directed to our Literacy Council through a program initiated through the local court system. As an alternative to being incarcerated individuals are give the opportunity to enhanced their literacy skills through a training program found at CCVL. One student, James, has continued beyond his court requirement and continues in our program with hopes of eventually obtaining his GED. He entered the program reading at a fourth grade level. The challenge will be difficult but his commitment has been made and he is remaining ever constant in the pursuit. He attends regularly with an eager interest in learning. We are tremendously excited to have James as one of our students and plan to offer every support measure to aid him in his eventual accomplishment.
