The Adult Literacy Center of Ozaukee County was founded in 1988 by members of Grace Lutheran Church in Grafton, Wisconsin, who wanted to put their faith into action by providing free literacy services to the community. Volunteer tutors provide one-on-one instruction in English writing, reading, speaking and comprehension at the center's main office in Grace Church as well as at local public libraries.
There are currently 40 active tutors who
devote 130 hours per month to teaching. The tutors work with
foreign-born students seeking to learn English as a second
language as well as students seeking to improve their
reading and writing skills. Volunteers receive training
before they work with students. Adele Dineen has served as the center's director for the past 10 years. In 2009, she was recognized for her service to literacy with the Celebrate Literacy Award presented by the Wisconsin State Reading Association. In 2008, the center hired its first part-time program assistant, Caroline Skagen, with the help of a grant from the United Way. For questions about the center or to volunteer, please email Adele or call her at (262) 240-1084. To For more information about our programs, see the Our Programs page or email Caroline.
