Literacy News
When Dolores started learning English at Stateline Literacy Council (SLC), she was very shy and would not say anything at first. Dolores shared, “I just felt like I couldn't express myself at all. I couldn't get my point across.”
Now, in 2021, Dolores has a different job with a higher hourly wage. She takes a business class because in Mexico she was a business owner.
This is her story.
Stateline Literacy Council (SLC) is a long standing organization that provides English and GED classes and testing in Spanish. SLC has created a tightknit community of students who share their motivations and inspire each other. The friendships continue beyond the classroom.
