| Here are four important ways you can help Family Literacy of Racine |
| Mentor |

| Help celebrate National Family Literacy Day |
Mentoring involves working one on one with a
child age 9-14, on a consistent enough schedule to
develop a relationship. Most of our children are
well behaved, well adjusted kids. What they do
need is someone to talk to them about things their
family may not know about--going to college,
careers, the world, etc.

Although most of Racine Family Literacy's
adult students are taught in classes,
occasionally RFL needs help with "special"
students. These can be pre-literacy adults
who need one on one help to learn the
alphabet--we have computer program to do
this--but they also need help with the program
and computer. Or they can be high level
students who may need tutoring on math,
science, or other topics while working on a
GED.
RFL asks tutors to commit to at least 6
months.
