LISTEN TO THE PODCAST NOW

 

Guest: Melanie Fisk, executive director of Literacy Advance of Houston.

 

One of the greatest barrier to employment and all subjects related to breaking the cycle of poverty, is literacy. Literacy Advance of Houston offers free reading classes and free ESL classes (English as a Second Language). Their volunteers are the reason this is possible. Melanie is passionate and talented and she even gives us an insight into why it is often women who are attracted to work in non-profits.

 

To volunteer or find out how you can take classes, go to their website: www.literacyadvance.org
