Benedictine Sisters of Virginia / BEACON for English Language and Literacy

Benedictine Educational Assistance Community Outreach to Neighbors (BEACON), a literacy program for adults, began in 1992. BEACON works primarily to meet the educational needs of adults in Prince William County, e.g. English as a second language (ESL) and high school equivalency (GED). Trained volunteers work with individuals and small groups at our partners’ sites throughout Prince William County, Virginia. BEACON also provides life-skills workshops on topics such as health and safety, nutrition, financial literacy, parenting skills, and community resources.

BEACON is a sponsored ministry of the Benedictine Sisters of Virginia found at www.osbva.org
