Imagine not being able to complete a job application, or talk to your child's teacher or communicate with a doctor or medical provider. This is the case for thousands of adult immigrants and refugees in our community. The Richardson Adult Literacy Center helps these adults by providing leveled English classes, from beginner through advanced, taught by trained volunteer teachers. Last year, RALC helped more than 700 adults, 95% who made progress towards a personal goal because of learning English.
This Fall 2023, in addition to offering a wide range of English Literacy classes, Conversation Classes, Advanced Writing and Book Club we are offering a FREE Citizenship course to help prepare individuals for taking the Citizenship Test. In addition, we are offering a series of FREE Digital Literacy classes throughout the Fall of 2023 to adults 50+.
RALC can only continue to provide these programs and resources through the generosity of donors like you. You can make a difference in these adults' lives by making a financial donation or volunteering.
Our Needs
Our primary needs are financial donations to support our work and to be able to add additional classes to meet the local demand for our Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 semesters.
