This week, we're starting off with a short series! We interviewed Trident Literacy's executive director, Jen Gibson, about the ins-and-outs of TLA, and will be breaking down the interview into five posts just for you. Question 1: For those who don’t, how would you describe Trident Literacy’s mission? "Our mission is to help adults improve their ability to get a job, to make more money using literacy. So we help them upskill and reskill, and that looks different for everybody. It could be a GED, it could be learning English as a second language, it could also be additional workforce training like getting a certificate in cybersecurity." - Jen Gibson

Adult education creates equity and a higher quality of life, and nothing highlights this more than taking a look at the literacy gap in the US. Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy helps make a difference in not only our community, but across the country by making these stats available to us.

Volunteering doesn’t just change your life, but the lives of entire communities of people. It is one of the most rewarding and worthwhile things you can do with your time. Being a volunteer takes many shapes—from organizing goods in a food bank to teaching someone English. One of the best parts of volunteering is the aspect of choice. How you want to make a positive impact on your community is just as important as deciding to volunteer in the first place. How exactly can volunteering make an impact? For volunteers, many places can teach valuable lessons. For example, if you are picking up litter you may gain a newfound respect for nature. When teaching or tutoring, you gain insight and new perspectives from people of all walks of life. For a community, volunteering provides people and places with the tending loving care they may otherwise not receive. Fresh food for those who do not have access, a comfortable, safe space to sleep at night, or a clean public place for everyone to enjoy. If you are looking for a way to make a meaningful difference in peoples’ lives, to feel a sense of community and life unlike any other, seek out volunteer opportunities. We promise you won’t regret it!
