Small Group Instruction
Literacy Council's small group instruction classes, led by a ProLiteracy-trained instructor, are held at The Glasser/Schoenbaum Human Services Center campus, Sarasota County libraries, or onsite at local schools, employers, or another nonprofit agency’s location. Classes are for up to 12 adult learners and typically meet once or twice a week for 60-90 minutes.
One-On-One Tutoring
ProLiteracy-trained volunteer tutors work with individual adult learners in one-on-one tutoring sessions with a focus on the learner’s educational goals including GED preparation, adult basic education in reading, writing and math, English as a second language, and citizenship. Tutors typically meet in a public place such as a library, a minimum of once a week for 90 minutes.

As a small organization with a staff of two, employee safety was a big consideration when we were looking for office space. We did not want our employees to be in a place where they were alone. Being on the GSHSC campus has been great because there is a whole community of like-minded professionals.
We are a small and young organization and having the ability to network and partner with other community organizations is key to the quality and impact of our work. In addition to the affordable space that The Glasser/Schoenbaum Human Services Center provides to all of us, it inspires us to use this collaborative model as we work to empower our students and their families.
Beyond the savings we experience, we are so grateful for the truly supportive environment both our clients and staff experience on the campus. The collegial nature of our organizations fosters a spirit of health and wellness.
I can't fully express how wonderful it is to take a client by the hand and walk them no more than a couple hundred feet from our office to another agency that can help them when they are in crisis.
