Can you read this? Many adults in the Mid-South cannot. You can make a difference! With just 2 hours a week for 6 months, you can help teach an adult to read. You’ll meet one on one with an adult at a Memphis Public Library, Germantown or North Mississippi library. Our clients come to us in order to reach a variety of goals. Some may want to be able to get into a High School Equivalency (HiSet) class, help their children with homework, read the Bible, or get a driver’s license.
You’ll attend a one-day training that will go over how our program works, why teaching adults is different than children, and the basics to get you started tutoring an adult basic education learner or English language learner.

Our main aim is to ensure that citizens with disabilities are included in and able to access all goods and services within the Memphis community.
To this end, the Transportation subcommittee will be hosting a summit on January 30 2020 at the Benjamin Hooks Library located at 3030 Poplar Ave. The time will be from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 pm. Information will be presented on transportation options available within the City of Memphis. There will be presentations as well as vendors to provide information about their services. Consumers will be able to sign up for services.
We would like to invite you to this event. We would also encourage you to inform your clients to take advantage of this summit to be informed and educated about transportation in Memphis. We have included a flyer for this event that you can distribute to individuals that can benefit from attending.
