Summary
We are serving the Henrico Adult Education Center. The students are learning English with the help of the VCU Globe students who would volunteer once a month on a Friday. Our goal is to assist them with their language skills as best as we can. In order to help their communication and reading skills, we are proposing a reading club for the students. This program will be for all classes and any students who want to join.

Budget
Personal Perspective
Reading is such an important ability and a quick way to develop many language skills.
Seeing the students struggle with pronunciation and communication made us realize that this is important.
