Motivated by her progress and desire to give back, Maritza sought out volunteer roles where she could help others. Her story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the impact of community.

We’d like to invite you to 
join tutor training with the Kalamazoo Literacy Council! Our services help strengthen reading, writing, spelling, and comprehension skills so adult learners can reach their full potential as parents, employees, and community members. In this training, you will learn effective strategies and techniques for teaching adults with low literacy, whether they’re native English speakers or English language learners. Volunteer hours are flexible and we supply free books, materials, and ongoing support.
With just a few hours a
