Seeds of Literacy

Mission: Mission:

We are fighting a root cause of poverty (illiteracy) by providing education services that help adults thrive in their communities.

Program Description: Program Description:

We provide one-to-one tutoring for adult education and high school equivalency preparation (GED/TASC/HiSET) at two Cleveland-area locations, as well as nationally in our Virtual Classroom, conducted through Zoom. Our tutors are all volunteers. Unlike other programs, tutors may work with a different student each day. Because our adult learners did not succeed in more traditional classroom settings, our program offers the ultimate flexibility.
