Literacy Corps

The Pennsylvania Literacy Corps, funded through PA Act 143, is dedicated to serving the adult literacy needs of the Commonwealth's citizens. PA Literacy Corps is a partnership between higher education institutions and adult basic and literacy education agencies. This statewide program promotes lifelong involvement as adult literacy volunteers while enhancing the higher education curriculum with courses in adult literacy and service learning opportunities.

CFL's Literacy Corps program partners with service learning courses at Temple University, connecting Temple students to the surrounding community through volunteer tutoring. Temple student tutors are matched with an adult learner to work with one-on-one for 40 hours over the span of the semester.

Adult learners participating in the program receive free one-on-one tutoring each semester in the areas for reading, writing, math, ADP, or GED from trained, dedicated student volunteers.
