Annual Report July 2013 – June 2014
Annual Report July 2013 – June 2014 Mission (Our Purpose for Existing) The mission of the Craven Literacy Council is to improve literacy by providing free, individualized instructional services to adults in Craven, Jones and Pamlico Counties. Our Core Values: We provide free, individualized instruction and materials to adults with low literacy skills and/or ESL needs in Craven, Pamlico and Jones Counties. We believe in the dignity of the individual and work collaboratively with each student in the development and achievement of personal, literacy-based instructional goals. We provide on-going training and continual support to community volunteers who consistently deliver quality instruction to our adult students. We continually explore avenues which better serve to promote adult literacy in Craven, Pamlico and Jones Counties. We provide programs which embrace multiple forms of literacy including basic, ESL, health, financial and technological. We provide the rallying point for community advocacy and support for adults in need of literacy education in Craven, Pamlico and Jones Counties. Vision (Our Dream for Tomorrow) All members of our community will have the literacy skills they need as individuals, workers, parents, and citizens to achieve their full potential.

These individuals worked hard with their volunteer tutors to improve their English listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, in addition to learning the answers to 100 civics questions. We are proud of these students and tutors and happy to be part of such a wonderful goal. “I am a proud United States Citizen. I can’t wait to vote in the next election.” A student who recently passed his Citizenship test Adult Education Important to Staff From the Director’s Desk The four part-time staff at Craven Literacy Council take their jobs as adult educators very seriously. They know they must remain current in the adult literacy field and attend professional development and training when finances and time allow. Donna Marshall completed her Master’s Degree in Adult Education from East Carolina University at her expense in 2014. Donna, Cathy Weiss and April King attended the North Carolina Community College Basic Skills Conference in August. (Cathy and April are CLC’s Student and Volunteer Services Coordinators respectively.) Donna and Cathy also attended the US Conference on Adult Literacy in Washington, DC in October that brought together adult literacy advocates and educators to share new ideas, learn from leading thinkers and inspire one another. Cathy and April are both working toward the College and Career Readiness Silver Core credentials through NCCCS and attend training whenever possible. All staff are active members of the North Carolina Literacy Association and attend their annual training conferences. Donna also serves on the Board of NCLA. It is with much enthusiasm and excitement that I present this annual report. We have had an extremely successful year, and it is my pleasure to share our accomplishments. At a time of faltering nonprofits and continued economic uncertainty, we have flourished and met the demands of our mission head on. This would not be possible without our hardworking, professional staff and the dedication of more than 100 volunteers and donors. Community support has shown us the importance of literacy in our area. I am proud of our students, the part we have played in their lives, and hope you join me in celebrating their accomplishments. Learning for Life, Donna FY2013-2014 Annual Report - Page 2 Craven Literacy Council Students Total Students Served By Program: Basic Literacy (includes pre-HSE): 67 English as Second Language: 84 198 High School Equivalency: English Literacy/Civics: 4 43 Craven Literacy Council provides free instructional services in Craven, Jones and Pamlico counties for adult residents who lack basic literacy skills and cannot attend programs offered at community colleges due to their schedule or personal circumstances. Tutors work with their students at least once a week, using a variety of educational materials and techniques, to improve the students’ skills and enable them to achieve life and literacy goals. During this fiscal year, students attended 11,223 hours of instruction or an average of 57 hours per student. This hard work has paid off for our students as 45 learners increased at least one educational functioning level this year. The Basic Literacy program teaches American-born students reading, writing, math and technological skills. We also work with individuals who are pursuing their High School Equivalency credential, and teach financial and health literacies. CLC’s English as a Second Language (ESL) program teaches foreign-born adults how to listen and speak English in addition to the basic literacy skills above. The EL/Civics program teaches individuals English Literacy and United States Civics to prepare students for citizenship. Volunteer tutors meet with students one-on-one or in small groups. Student Demographics 2013-2014 Asian - 49% Black/African American - 26% Hispanic/Latino - 16% White - 9% FY2013-2014 Annual Report - Page 3 Male - 34% Female - 66% Craven Literacy Council Volunteers Total Volunteers: 162 Tutors: 136 Administrative/Others: 15 Executive Board: 11 Volunteers have always been at the heart of CLC. They serve as tutors, trainers, board members, mini class facilitators and office helpers. In 2013-2014, more than 162 volunteers donated over 15,515 hours to CLC, including 7,405 hours of direct instruction received by students. In addition to the initial 15-hour training workshop, volunteers are invited to attend several in-services/trainings throughout the year CLC Volunteer Tutors live our tag line of Learning for Life. In addition to the initial 15-hour workshop required of all our volunteer tutors, CLC sponsors several in-services and trainings throughout the year. This year, four new tutor workshops were held graduating 58 volunteer tutors. These volunteers were paired with students and are given one-on-one support and all the materials they need to tutor successfully. Four inservices were also held. The first was a library tour where tutors were encouraged to explore the resources available at the Craven County Public Library in New Bern. The Affordable Care Act In-Service in February was facilitated by Judy Willoughby to help tutors aid their students in understanding the Affordable Care Act. Lisa Wohlrab of USCIS facilitated a Citizenship Information session in March. Mark Best, Director of Workforce Readiness at Craven Community College, led a valuable information session on April 24 about the many classes and opportunities for students and tutors. CLC celebrated our volunteers at the annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner on September 26 held at First Baptist Family Life Center. Numerous volunteers were recognized for the number of hours they have served including Sammie Caswell who has contributed over 2000 lifetime hours to our organization. Attendees received a sticky note holder as a small token of our appreciation for all they do for our students and our community. Volunteers Enjoying the Annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner FY2013-2014 Annual Report - Page 4 Craven Literacy Council Events Daddy Daughter Sweetheart Ball The Gift of Literacy The Daddy Daughter Sweetheart Ball is an annual fundraising event where dads treat their daughters to a fun night of dancing, dinner and memories. The Ball is open to all girls grades five and under and their fathers (or father figures). Tickets were $60 per father/daughter couple with tickets for additional “daughters” at $25. The ticket price included a child-adult friendly dinner, DJ music and dancing, a corsage, tiara, door prize and souvenir photograph. Jane Peele from Down East Dance Studios served as MC and dance instructor for the evening. The New Bern High School Drill Team performed two dances and helped pass out door prizes. The Gift of Literacy is an annual fundraising appeal timed to coincide with the holiday season. This year’s mailing was delivered to more than 1700 residents in our community. The recipients were encouraged to consider an alternative to giving conventional holiday gifts. For a minimum donation of $25.00, CLC sent a special holiday card to individuals or families announcing that a Gift of Literacy had been given to Craven Literacy Council in their honor.

Those of us who have tried to learn a second language, play a musical instrument or participate in a new sport as adults know that nothing comes as easily as it did when we were kids. Dedication and perseverance are the only way to make progress with a new skill, and even then progress may be slow. JoAnn Kerrick, Chairman Christopher Bass – Vice-Chairman Alice Underhill – Secretary Keith Merritt – Treasurer So how can we not be inspired by the efforts of the adult learners who come every day to Craven Literacy Council to improve their literacy skills? These adults have job and family responsibilities and still find the time to attend lessons with their CLC tutor and to do the homework needed to master new literacy skills. Our students exemplify dedication and perseverance. Edward Blunt Nickey Miller Janet Peregoy Jim Slaughter Margi Thompson Craven Literacy Council delivered over 10,000 hours of literacy instruction in 2013-2104. All of us associated with CLC—the students themselves, the staff, the volunteers, the Board, our donors—can see the successes brought by improved literacy. This year we’ve seen students gain their US citizenship, students earn a promotion at work, students able to read to a grandchild when they were never able to read to their own child. However you support CLC, know that because of you we are making a difference in people’s lives and in our community. Staff Executive Director Donna Marshall Student Services Coordinator Cathy Weiss The Board quite naturally spends much of its efforts on fundraising for CLC. It’s easy to get lost in the busyness of one event after another: stuffing envelopes, asking for sponsorships, selling tickets and more. The beginning of our fiscal year is a good time to take a step back and truly appreciate those responsible for the good accomplished by our organization. Thank you to our students for showing up and working so hard. Thank you to our volunteers for giving so unselfishly of your time to help others. Thank you to our amazing staff for the compassion and professionalism you exhibit every day. Thank you to our donors for your generous financial support. We on the Board are proud to be associated with such an outstanding organization, and we look forward to continued success in the coming year.
