Health Literacy Class Kicks-Off This Summer!

The Literacy Center is proud to present the newest course to our curriculum - Health Literacy!  A recent survey of our students showed that many could benefit from a course with the goal of increasing awareness of healthy options for better living.  The course will run for six weeks in the summer and will continue to be offered throughout the program year.  

The Health Literacy mini-class is offered to enrolled students in addition to their regular classes.  For more details about the Health Literacy course and a schedule of all Literacy Center classes please click here.
