Programs
LEAP
(Learning, Enriching, Achieving, Preparing)
LEAP
is a Community Literacy Centers-sponsored program. LEAP focuses on
literacy issues by providing on-site training to individuals, through
cooperative partnerships, with Oklahoma City area businesses and
non-profit agencies. They may include drug and alcohol recovery centers,
DHS-sponsored programs, workplace programs, etc. The LEAP program is
site-specific.
LEAP is specifically designed to meet the needs of
partner agencies and their clients. LEAP is the critical link in the
chain that enables the individual to learn in a familiar environment as
they work towards the initial goals set with their home agency.
All
LEAP activities are taught by professional educators and supervised by
CLC’s education program coordinator. This ensures accountability for the
educational outcome and evaluation of all LEAP students. We train our
instructors in phonics-based activities scientifically proven to work
with struggling learners.
TANF
(Temporary Assistance for Needy Families)
We
currently partner with the Oklahoma Department of Libraries and the
Oklahoma Department of Human Services to offer literacy training five
days a week for men and women on assistance. CLC provides
state-certified teachers, materials, and administration to provide basic
skills, life skills, and job skills. Clients are accepted by referral
only.
Tutor Training
CLC offers a workshop for volunteers who wish to tutor adults. The program opens with an orientation the first Monday evening of the workshop and continues each Monday evening until completion. Tutors are given an understanding of adult students’ needs and the necessary tools to become excellent tutors.
