The NC LiteracyCorpsENGAGE Project is a cohort of AmeriCorps members working to increase the capacity and direct service impact of North Carolina's campus and community-based literacy programs. During the 2010-2011 program year, the NC LiteracyCorps will place 19 full-time, 4 part-time, and 15 minimum-time AmeriCorps members on college campuses and community sites across the state. Our priority service areas include providing skills development training such as ABE, GED, and ESOL to economically disadvantaged adults, recruiting, training and supporting volunteer literacy tutors, and increasing literacy skills in K-12 students. The North Carolina LiteracyCorps is funded through a grant from the North Carolina Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service and the Corporation for National and Community Service.
