Second Start Adult Literacy - Oakland Public Library


  • Misión

    Second Start helps adults improve their basic literacy skills in order to achieve personal learning goals and dreams.

    Acerca de

    The Need for Adult Literacy Services is Great - In Alameda County, 19% of English-speaking adults do not have basic literacy skills. In Oakland, this percentage is probably higher. People who do not have basic skills might have trouble with filling out a form, writing emails at work, applying for a better job, or reading bills. They face health risks because they can't read information about their medical conditions.

    Oakland Public Library's Second Start adult literacy program (established in 1984) offers free and confidential help with reading, writing, and computers for adults. We train volunteer tutors to work one-on-one with adult learners.
