Become a CCLC Volunteer! And discover the JOY of teaching someone how to READ.
One in four New Mexicans cannot read this sentence...
Some 5,000 residents in Curry County struggle to read a food label, fill out a job application or read a story to a child. The Curry County Literacy Council is a non-profit, volunteer organization whose mission is to help adults improve their quality of life by helping them to strengthen their basic literacy and communication skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking, math and/or other necessary life skills). We are located at the Center for Student Success at Clovis Community College and are funded, in part, by the New Mexico Coalition for Literacy and the United Way of Eastern New Mexico.
Almost anything can become a learning experience if there is enough caring involved.
-Mary MacCracken
