SUMMARY:2019 Unity Campaign
DESCRIPTION:The Literacy Council is again honored to be one of 32 nonprofit organizations participating in the Unity Campaign for Frederick County\, hosted by United Way of Frederick County. The Unity Campaign supports the over one in three households in Frederick County that struggle to afford basic human necessities! Together\, we can make a difference! \nThe Unity Campaign is a collaborative project between nonprofit partners\, sponsors\, and the greater Frederick community to support our most vulnerable neighbors by giving to a nonprofit organization of their choice. \nLiteracy is the basis for success in all other areas of life. It enables people to gain better employment to provide food\, clothing\, shelter and health care for themselves and their families. And the children of literate parents are much more likely to succeed in school. \nThe 2018 Frederick Community Assessment Report conducted by the Frederick County Community Foundation identified several common stressors that negatively impacted the well-being of families.  These include financial hardship\, housing and food instability\, health issues and lack of affordable childcare. Illiteracy compounds each of these stressors\, erecting a barrier that severely limits the financial options of a family. While these are multifaceted and complex issues\, adult literacy is the one factor that can have a positive impact across the board. \nThe majority of fundraising will take place during the “12 Days of Giving” which begins on September 11th and continues through September 22th.  However\, the campaign is currently running and accepting donations!  Please consider donating by designating the Literacy Council of Frederick County or by supporting the campaign as a whole.  Matching funds will provide more bang for your donated bucks! \nVisit http://www.unityfrederick.com/ to learn more about the campaign. \nTo donate online to the Literacy Council\, please visit our Unity Campaign page. Or download the Mail-in Donation Form to send a check.

SUMMARY:ESL Conversation Class - Student Led ~ 1st & 3rd Tuesdays
DESCRIPTION:This is a student-led ESL conversation class.  Students meet every other week to plan the class and class strategies.  Students themselves give presentations and mini-presentations about their country of origin\, first year in the United States\, or anything else of interest to them.  Idioms are discussed.  We also read the newspaper News for You for practice in pronunciation.  We break down into smaller groups to have discussions.  It is a very social time for students to get to know one another and make friendships. \nThe class will meet every first and third Tuesday of the month from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. from September 17 through December 3.  Sometimes students bring in food to share\, but you are allowed to eat in the classroom\, so we suggest that you bring a lunch or snack.  Other times\, we go on field trips especially in the summer. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Holiday Book Drive 2019
DESCRIPTION:The Literacy Council of Frederick County is again partnering with Curious Iguana for our Annual Holiday Book Drive to provide new books for elementary school aged children (PreK through 5th grade). \nWhile the Literacy Council serves adult literacy needs\, providing appealing\, age-appropriate books to children fosters literacy at a young age and helps to break the cycle of low literacy in families.  The books will be given to parents of children in elementary school who are participating in the Literacy Council’s tutoring or class instruction programs. The Literacy Council recently began working directly with the Judy Center and Lincoln\, Hillcrest and Waverley Elementary Schools to provide tutoring at the schools for parents whose children attend these schools\, and many of our other students also have young children with whom to share the books. \nSuggestions for younger grades include: board books\, picture books (fiction and nonfiction)\, early chapter books; and for older grades: mid-grade chapter books\, paperback series\, graphic novels\, and STEM titles. \nTo participate in the Holiday Book Drive\, you may purchase and donate books between November 15 and December 13 at Curious Iguana in downtown Frederick (12 N. Market St.).  Or you may simply purchase a book and drop it off at the Literacy Council’s office at 110 E. Patrick St. no later than December 13. \nDonors often like to share a childhood favorite or just encourage the habit of reading in a child. We request no religious holiday themed books so that we are not limited in distributing them. \nDownload a flyer to share here. \nThe Holiday Book Drive\, now in its 13th year\, has provided books for several local agencies including Head Start\, the YMCA’s Early Learning Center\, Toys for Tots\, Advocates for Homeless Families\, Children of Incarcerated Parents (COIP)\, and Blessings in a Backpack.

SUMMARY:Giving Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:Please consider a gift on Giving Tuesday to support adult literacy through the Literacy Council of Frederick County!\nThis year we are participating in a community-wide Giving Tuesday event with the Catalogue for Philanthropy.  Beginning November 20 and through Tuesday\, December 3\, you can support our programs by giving here. \n  \nAdult Literacy Changes Everything …\n\nHealth. Gender equality. Poverty.\nEvery important social issue is impacted by low literacy.\nWhen individuals learn how to read\, write\, do basic math\, and use computers\, they have the power to lift themselves out of poverty\, lower health care costs\, find and keep sustainable employment\, and ultimately change their lives. \n\nYet … one in ten Frederick County adults struggle with functional literacy. This includes native English speakers who can’t read or write\, and English language learners. These skills are fundamental to work\, prosperity\, health\, and family stability. \nThe holiday season is just around the corner. We invite you  to kick it off with us on Giving Tuesday! Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving back. On the Tuesday following Thanksgiving\, people around the world will come together to celebrate generosity and make an impact. \nThis year\, we want to hit our goal of $5\,000 to ensure we can continue to be a resource and #BEACHANGEMAKER in our community!  Help the Literacy Council meet our goal this year for Giving Tuesday of raising $5\,000! \nThese funds are needed to support the recent expansion of our programs including new workplace classes for employees for hospitality/restaurant workers and direct parent support in three local elementary schools and the Judy Center where we are providing tutors for parents whose children attend these schools. \nLast year the Literacy Council of Frederick County’s more than 240 volunteers contributed over 15\,340 hours conducting individual tutoring and class instruction in beginning literacy\, conversation\, pronunciation\, basic computer skills\, writing and civics classes transforming lives for over 230 adults and their families. \nJust look what our students achieved last year!!\n\n\nGot jobs or better jobs\nImproved employability skills\nReceived GED\nEntered other education or training\nAdvanced level(s) in curriculum series\nObtained citizenship\nObtained driver’s licenses\nRegistered to vote or voted for the first time\nIncreased involvement in community activities\nIncreased support for their children’s education\nAttained consumer skills\, wellness and healthy lifestyles\nOther personal goals\n\nWith your support we can have an even bigger impact!
