ANNUAL REPORT

2006-2007

Our Mission

The Loudoun Literacy Council’s mission is to change lives by promoting strong literacy skills and fostering life-long learning. Based on our belief that the ability to read, write, speak, and understand English is critical to personal freedom and the maintenance of a

democratic American society, we use literacy to help individuals, families and businesses achieve their educational, employment and civic goals.

About the Loudoun Literacy Council

More than 30 million American adults have below-basic literacy skills. They include native speakers as well as those who speak a language other than English, and they are not contributing all they can because they struggle to read, speak or write English.

The Loudoun Literacy Council is a private, community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to improving literacy throughout Loudoun County. We help low-literate adults and children from disadvantaged families learn to speak, read and write English. For adults, our trained volunteers provide year-round classes in English for Speakers of Other Languages (our ESOL Classroom Program) or confidential, individualized tutoring in either basic reading or ESOL (our Individualized Tutoring Program). For children, we provide literacy enrichment programs for those who live at or below the poverty line in the Head Start preschool program, for those that reside in our local homeless shelters (Sweet Dreams), and through the help of senior citizens residing in Sunrise Assisted Living in Leesburg (All Ages Read Together).

Background and History

The Loudoun Literacy Council was formed in 1980 as a resource for the Regional Refugee Resettlement Office. The Council’s task was to provide instruction in English as a Second Language to refugees who arrived in Loudoun County. It was an all-volunteer agency until 1993, when it hired its first part-time administrator. An Americorps VISTA member arrived in 1994 and provided us with our first full-time staff. In 1996, the Loudoun Literacy Council became a United Way and a Combined Federal Campaign agency.

In 1998, we added a Family Literacy Program to serve disadvantaged children in Loudoun County. A collaborative effort of the Loudoun Literacy Council, the Claude Moore Charitable Foundation, our local Head Start Program (the preschool program for children living at or below the poverty line) and the Loudoun County Public Schools offered literacy support to each child enrolled in the Head Start program. This collaboration has been so successful that it continues on today. Each year, we provide

1

the literacy component in every Head Start classroom, which served over 100 children this fiscal year. We served hundreds of more in the county’s STEP program, children residing in the local Emergency Homeless Shelter, and children involved in the AART program held at Sunrise Assisted Living in Leesburg.

Vision for the Future

The Loudoun Literacy Council’s vision is to promote strong English language skills for children and adult learners in Loudoun County through the effective use of volunteers, to maintain and expand support services for both our adult learners and our volunteers, and to expand our collaborations with individuals, groups and other organizations, particularly those who are also offering ESOL instruction in the community. Faith-based organizations, the Loudoun County Public School Adult Education Department and our local community college all offer ESOL instruction to our residents and we hope to better coordinate these services to successfully meet the needs of our immigrant population. Through our partnership with Adult Education, we are now matching students who have failed a portion of the GED with our trained volunteer tutors. We hope to increase the number of tutors in this program in order to serve more adults so that they can obtain their GED and hopefully obtain a higher paying job.

We also envision our organization joining other nonprofits in a nonprofit campus—a center where many nonprofit organizations are housed together so that they will save on the cost of office space and overhead, but also collaborate to provide integrated information, referral, education, and human services to those in need. This vision is the mission of a nonprofit organization called Loudoun Cares of which we are a nonprofit partner. We continue to assist Loudoun Cares in the realization of their mission.

Finally, we hope to continue to strengthen our relationship with the County’s Public Library System. While the library is a strong supporter of the Loudoun Literacy Council—they have donated space for our ESOL classes, held fundraisers on our behalf, and maintained an ongoing dialogue with our organization —we hope to strengthen our partnership in the future by eventually sharing office space or even combining our efforts to form a literacy department within the Library system.

Message from the Executive Director

Fiscal year 2006-2007 was a pivotal year for the Loudoun Literacy Council. The Family Literacy Program was strong due to our longstanding partnership with the Claude Moore Charitable Foundation and our experienced program directors. We served over 405 families in the fiscal year due to our programs in every Head Start classroom, our book parties for the families of these students, our programs in the county’s homeless shelters, and our work within the county’s STEP program. But the Adult Literacy Program faced greater challenges. With only one part-time program director and a limited adult literacy program, our organization was not serving the number of adults that we had served in the past. Meanwhile, the need for inexpensive, convenient, year-round, English language instruction grew tremendously.

Loudoun County has seen a surge in the number of immigrants moving to Loudoun County. In 2000, the U.S. Census reported that some 9,000 residents indicated that they spoke English “less than very well”. In 2005, the number jumped to over 20,000. It’s true that Loudoun County has one of the highest median income rates, as well as one of the lowest poverty rates in the nation. But while this is good news for many of our residents, it is difficult to be poor in Loudoun County. Our housing prices are high and many of the immigrants who live in our community must struggle to make ends meet. In order to obtain a better job, to speak to their children’s teacher, to better communicate with their doctor, to enter into a business transaction without the help of an interpreter, these residents must learn to speak English. Additionally, over 8,000 residents over the age of 25, and over 2,000 residents between 18 and 24 do not have a high school diploma or its equivalency.

Faced with this need, the Loudoun Literacy Council made the decision to make a significant investment in its Adult Literacy Program and launched an ESOL Classroom Program in September of 2006. We hired an additional program director, purchased laptop computers in which to assess our students, trained staff and volunteers to use a computerized version of a nationally recognized, standardized test that can be used in the field, and trained more volunteer instructors to man the classrooms. By continuing our Individualized Tutoring Program, we continued to help those that cannot benefit from a classroom situation—native speakers who never learned to read; people who need individual help with their GED; and the most challenging student—an ESL student who cannot read in his or her own language. By the end of the fiscal year, we had served almost 200 students in our ESOL Classroom Program alone.

The increasing need for services in our county gives the Loudoun Literacy Council a prime opportunity to grow. It is my hope that it becomes a growing and thriving business, and expands its investment in the people, community and the future of Loudoun County.

Our Programs

Adult Literacy ProgramLoudoun County is one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States. But with that growth has come a large influx of immigrants to the county. These residents, along with their children, are struggling with a different culture, a severe affordable housing shortage and other economic and social difficulties. Our mission is to help them gain the literacy skills they need to improve their lives. In order to meet this growing need, our Adult Literacy Program trains volunteers from the community to become instructors. These trained volunteers are then asked to lead or assist an ESOL class or are matched with one student or a small group of students to provide individualized instruction.

Jill Straight, an LLC board member, conducts an instructor training course for volunteers in a conference room donated by the Hampton Inn & Suites, Leesburg. This year, ESOL classes were held at the following donated sites: Library Administration Building (Trailview Rd., Leesburg), MotherNet Healthy Families/Loudoun offices, Galilee United Methodist Church in Sterling, Sterling United Methodist Church, Sterling Park Baptist Church, Heritage High School, and the Cascades Senior Center. Classes held at the Douglass Community Center were paid for by LLC, but at a reduced rate.

Workplace Literacy ProgramIn our Workplace Literacy Program, we provide experienced, credentialed ESOL teachers to workplaces in Loudoun County. In order to stay competitive in the global economy, employers need workers who can read, write, compute, solve problems and communicate well. Through the Loudoun Literacy Council, employers are able to provide job-related ESOL instruction to members of their workforce. These lessons, scheduled weekly and when the employee is not working, provide workers with the skills they need to get or retain a job, advance in their careers, or increase productivity.

Family Literacy Program

In our Family Literacy Program, we provide literacy enrichment for preschool children and parent education. Our program is based on a model adopted by the National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) to help families break the intergenerational cycle of illiteracy by providing services to at-risk children and their family members. Through a 9-year partnership with the Loudoun County Head Start preschool program and the Claude Moore Charitable Foundation, we help at-risk children develop the necessary literacy skills to be successful learners.

In addition to hands-on literacy enrichment in the classroom, we hold Family Book Parties throughout the school year. They provide a fun, free, family activity for the lower income families of the Head Start students. The evening includes a healthy dinner and a dessert craft, a group story time with a guest reader, and a book-related craft activity. Most important, it provides the opportunity for these families to enjoy a book-related craft activity together and to meet and visit with each other.

The Loudoun Literacy Council’s Family Literacy Program directors read in Head Start classrooms located at Emerick Elementary School, Dominion High School, Heritage High School, Sugarland Run Elementary School, Leesburg Elementary School, and Sterling Elementary School.

In our Sweet Dreams program, we serve children who reside in the emergency homeless shelter by providing bedtime reading once a week. Studies have shown that the single most effective way to ensure success in school is to read to your children. Unfortunately, when families are in crisis, the first activity to go is often the reading time. To fill this gap, trained volunteer readers go weekly to the shelters to read to the children and their parents. They take new and “gently used” books, from which each family member selects one each visit to build their personal libraries.

Michele Hawes, Family Literacy Program Director, reads to children in a Head Start class.

This fiscal year, we added a new program—AART—All Ages Read Together. This program matched 5 preschool children from disadvantaged homes with residents who live in Sunrise Assisted Living in Leesburg. The seniors read to the children, and help them with literacy activities. Books are distributed to the children each week to add to their personal libraries. The program is in the process of being expanded to other assisted living homes in the county to serve more children.

We also ran a pilot program funded by the Giving Circle of Hope in Reston, where we offered an ESOL class and GED preparation for the parents of any child enrolled in the Head Start program.

Community Partnerships and Outreach

This fiscal year we formed important partnerships with other community agencies to ensure that we serve the people who need us most. The following organizations and agencies are examples of those that work with us to bring our literacy services to Loudoun County:

1. Inmed/MotherNet Healthy Families LoudounWith the assistance of Natalia Derritt, a Spanish-speaking program director for Inmed, we offered ESOL classes to their clients—at-risk new mothers and mothers to be and their significant others—at the Douglass Community Center.

2. La VozThis immigrant assistance organization offers ESOL classes in several sites in Loudoun County. The Loudoun Literacy Council will soon provide trained ESOL instructors and curriculum to meet their clients’ growing needs for English language instruction.

3. Volunteers of America (VOA)Our program continues to partner with Volunteers of America who oversee the homeless and transitional programs in Loudoun County. We also partnered with Loudoun County High School Future Educators of America, who provide volunteers at each Book Party held for Head Start students and their families. The Girl Scouts provide monthly support assembling book packs to be given to the Head Start students and preparing craft activities for the Book Parties and Book Packs.

4. Faith-based OrganizationsWe could not maintain our operations without the generous donation of classroom space by our faith-based partners. They include Sterling Park Baptist Church, Sterling United Methodist Church, and Galilee United Methodist Church. Moreover, as you can see from our donor list, churches from across the region have donated generously to the Loudoun Literacy Council. Local youth groups from faith-based organizations read books onto tapes and we have distributed these tapes to the children we serve so that the children and their families can listen and follow along in the books we provide.

5. Northern Virginia Community College and Loudoun County Public Schools The Loudoun Literacy Council coordinates its efforts with the Northern Virginia Community College by referring adult ESOL students to each other, as well as training college students to become ESOL instructors in our classes. Adult Education through the public schools also actively refers us students, and our organizations frequently help each other to provide literacy services to the public. We deal on an almost daily basis with the Loudoun County Public Schools through the Head Start and STEP programs and through the Parent Liaisons assigned to the individual schools.

6. Loudoun Literacy SymposiumAs a result of a financial grant from the Piedmont Community Foundation, the Loudoun Literacy Council formed a “Literacy Symposium” with other ESOL providers in the county to network and discuss ways to better serve those residents with limited English proficiency.

7. First BookFirst Book and Cheerios’ Spoonfuls of Stories are partnered to provide a year’s worth of books to children in a selected program in every state and our Family Literacy Program was chosen to represent Virginia!

8. Proliteracy WorldwideWe are proud to be an affiliate of ProLiteracy Worldwide. ProLiteracy America, the U.S. Programs Division of ProLiteracy Worldwide, represents 1,200 community-based volunteer and adult basic education members in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. ProLiteracy America provides accreditation, advocacy, and technical assistance as well as program and professional development services. In addition, its members benefit from an annual conference and a menu of regional trainings.

Volunteers

The best investment LLC can make to support literacy is to recruit, train and retain volunteers to teach our adult students, read to children in the homeless shelter, and assist the organization. Our volunteers are the backbone of the Loudoun Literacy Council and we could not operate without them. Each volunteer in our Adult Literacy Program makes a commitment to instruct or tutor a student or group of students for 2 hours per week, for a minimum of 14 weeks. Often this commitment lasts much longer as the student and teacher form a bond and a close working relationship. Volunteers in our Sweet Dreams program, the in-shelter reading program, visit our homeless shelters at least once a month and spend several hours reading to the children and their families.

In our Family Literacy Program, we had approximately 87 volunteers donating their time to the children and their families that we serve. Tasks that our volunteers accomplished included assembling book packs for the Head Start students and reading books onto

8

tapes, helping out at our Book Parties, reading to children in the homeless shelter, reading to children at the YMCA summer camps, and volunteering in our pilot ESOL program for Head Start parents.

A total of 455 hours of volunteer hours was donated to us on behalf of the Family Literacy Program.

In our Adult Literacy Program, and for the organization as a whole, we had volunteers doing everything from serving in our ESOL Classrooms to tutoring adult students, to inputting data into our computers, to serving on our all volunteer Board of Directors.

In fiscal year, 2005-2006, we had 52 volunteers donating 530 hours of time, while in this fiscal year we had 70 volunteers donating 982 hours of volunteer time.

Tutor Training

In this fiscal year we had 4 quarterly “tutor trainings” and trained 56 new instructors. These instructors were assigned to teach ESOL classes throughout the county, and one citizenship class, or were asked to become an individual tutor. The tutors in our Individualized Tutoring Program help native speakers who struggle with reading or math, individuals who need help with specific subjects of the GED, or ESOL students who need individualized help with the English language and cannot benefit from a classroom experience.

The Hampton Inn & Suites in Leesburg generously offered their spacious conference room and facilities to make these tutor trainings as comfortable as possible for our volunteers.

Fundraising

Events

The Loudoun Literacy Council hosted several events throughout the year to raise public awareness about the mission of the organization and to raise funds to support our essential programs. During Fiscal Year 2006-2007, the Loudoun Literacy Council hosted three successful fundraisers.

1. Loudoun ReadsThis event was held on International Literacy Day, September 8, 2006, on the Leesburg Town Green, in Leesburg, Virginia. The event celebrated the benefits and joys of literacy and raise public awareness of the mission of the Loudoun Literacy Council. It was a free, lunchtime event where the public was invited to listen to Loudoun County authors and notables read from their favorite poem, book or short passage. Authors such as Russell Baker, Barbara Holland, and Marc Leepson appeared, as well as such notables as Leesburg Mayor Kristen Umstattd, Superintendent of Schools Edgar Hatrick, and former Washington Redskin Ken Harvey. All volunteered their time for the cause of literacy. The event’s sole sponsor was Verizon. Funds raised: $5,000 Russell Baker

2. Corporate Spelling BeeThis event was held on November 20, 2006, at Lightfoot Restaurant in historic, downtown Leesburg. Local businesses sent a team of three spellers to compete against other businesses in a fast-paced, fun, round-robin spelling bee. A list of spelling words produced by Scripps Howard was sent to all contestants prior to the contest, and celebrity judges were on hand to make the event truly memorable. The winner, the Boys & Girls Club of Loudoun County received the

Champion Speller’s Cup to display for one year. The runner up was AOL. The evening was a fierce, but friendly competition while raising funds for the Loudoun Literacy Council. Funds raised: $15,000
