Content Body:
Since its inception in 1986, Newport/Mesa ProLiteracy has offered free, one-on-one tutoring and small group classes in basic literacy, to adults who live or work in the Newport Beach area. The program is open to adults, over 18 years-of-age, who are either native English speakers with low literacy skills or those who learned English as a second language.
Volunteers
Newport/Mesa ProLiteracy employs two part time staff. The majority of support and tutoring is done by a dedicated volunteer base. Find out how to become a volunteer.
Support
The program is sponsored, in part, by the State of California and the City of Newport Beach. However, most of our funding comes individual support and from local businesses that are committed to making a difference. How you can help support Literacy Services.
Or make a donation online now through the NBPL Foundation.
