Loudoun Literacy Council, Virginia- AmeriCorps Member Janna Starr (pictured right) looks on as her adult immigrant students complete an assignment. She encourages movement and activities instead of teaching a lecture, taking the role more of a facilitator than a teacher. Learning English empowers and launches our adult students into a place where they can get better jobs, speak English to their children's teachers, and be active participants in their community. AmeriCorps Members empower adult learners through the Adult Literacy program by teaching classes and tutoring one-on-one.
