Laubach began a partnership with the San Diego County Library L.E.A.R.N. ESL program around 2006. Because of this invaluable collaboration and financial support, we are able to provide professionally trained tutors, materials, and spaces where learners can study with their tutors in classes or on a one-on-one basis. Our collaboration was selected by the National Association of Counties as a winner of the 2008 Acts of Caring Awards, which recognizes the top county volunteer programs in the U.S.
We are a member of ProLiteracy, a nonprofit international literacy organization based in Syracuse, New York.
VolunteerMatch is a national organization that helps us recruit volunteers to teach English. Their popular service welcomes millions of visitors a year and has become the preferred Internet recruiting tool for more than 75,000 nonprofit organizations.
Through SDCOL we are able to connect potential tutors with Laubach sites as well as being given current information about literacy programs throughout the county, literacy issues, and upcoming events.
