Programs



AmeriCorps VISTA Literacy Project:  Full-time volunteers are placed in literacy organizations all over Tennessee.  These individuals build capacity for the organizations they work for and have a huge affect.  We have placed more than 200 AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers throughout the life of the Coalition, and their results exceed expectation.

Award for Excellence in Adult Literacy Service:  This award is given to the applicant that shows the most success in literacy service.  There is a $500 cash prize given with this award.  We are happy to be able to applaud those who have received the award in the past, and hope the award will grow in the future.

Information Clearinghouse:  One of our objectives is to serve as a resource for information about adult literacy.  This includes referring adult learners and volunteers, as well as being a source for basic information links about literacy.  This program is maintained through the Coalition's website, and more specifically the find a program and resources pages.

Regional Networking Forums:  These informal gatherings of adult literacy providers are a regular opportunity for staff and volunteers to meet together to share ideas and resources.  This program emerged from a member survey showing need for provider agencies to meet with each other and discuss best practices, problems, and resources.  Forums are held all over the state in various locations, ensuring at least one forum to be within an hour's distance from each member group.
