HCL offers best literacy practices in three demonstration learning
centers, located in areas of Houston where the need is
greatest. Please contact us at anytime if someone from your
organization is interested in visiting one of our demonstration
centers to learn various aspects of running an adult literacy
center including, curriculum resources, data entry, center
management, and much more.

We help to train and place volunteers in provider sites
throughout the city to assist with one-on-one tutoring, support
teachers in the classroom, carry out clerical and other
administrative work, and complete project-based assignments. Please

volunteers at your site. If you, or someone you know is interested

technology equipment. Please contact us if your organization would
like to request technological assistance.
