The adults who come to Project READ want to change their lives. In order to transition into new programs and positions, they first must improve their literacy skills. Our students’ goals often include the following:
• getting a GED
• enrolling in a vocational training program
• taking college classes
• getting a job (or a better job)
• reading to their children
• helping their children succeed in school
Above all, these motivated adults want to expand their opportunities, provide for their families, and contribute to the community in new and meaningful ways. Through our free, one-on-one tutoring, we provide the tools our students need to gain independence and reach their goals.

April has been designated as National Second Chance Month.
For the past year, Project Read Plus has collaborated with Crossing Healthcare in the RESTORE program to give inmates at the Macon County Jail a second chance. Project Read Plus tutors inmates to help them improve their reading and math skills, and Crossing gives participants the tools they need for substance abuse recovery.
Upon release, the men continue tutoring to qualify for job training and gain employment while they also receive support in programs at Crossing Recovery Center.
