Since 1993, over 2,500 women have come to the Dominican Literacy Center to learn to read, write and speak English. Many of these women had little or no education in their home countries, but they know that, to succeed in their new country, it is necessary for them to learn English.
We believe that individual tutoring by trained volunteers is an excellent way to impart language instruction. Our trained volunteers help each woman to understand her strengths and weaknesses, and to use those strengths to learn English. The outcome of this tutoring program is women who can communicate and participate totally in the their families, their communities, and their workplaces.
At the Dominican Literacy Center we believe that each woman has a right to have a voice in her new country, and we help her find that unique voice.
