What Kind of People are Adult Learners?

While there is no “typical” adult Learner, there are some common reasons that adults enter an adult literacy program:

  • they may never have had the opportunity to attend school
  • they may have had different learning styles that weren’t taken into account in the school system
  • some adult learners have had learning challenges that have gone undiagnosed
  • some adult learners have dropped out of school for any number of personal reasons

    • Many adults who attend literacy programs are just like you. They work, raise families, participate in their communities, and share time with friends.

    Becoming a Volunteer Tutor provides you with the opportunity to meet interesting adult learners who will enrich your life, as much as you will contribute to theirs!
