Adult Learner Leadership Institute Graduation [ ALLI ]24 Adult Learners from Southern California library literacy programs successfully completed the 2009 Adult Learner Leadership Institute.
11 adult learners graduated on May 30 at the Carlsbad Library Learning Center.
13 will graduate on June 13 at the Upland Public Library.
In addition to improving basic reading and writing skills, many learners are eager to take on new challenges and want to make a contribution of their own:
~ Become better role models for their families
~ Assume leadership roles at work
~ Participate in community activities and decision-making
~ Advocate for resources for adult learners
The 6-month ALLI program was founded in 2000 as the Henry Huffman Leadership Institute in memory of Henry Huffman, a dedicated learner who devoted his life to spreading awareness of literacy in the community. Graduates keep their skills active by facilitating and co-presenting sessions for new learners.
ALLI graduates build self esteem as they increase their potential to speak out effectively on community issues, and act as spokespersons for literacy causes.
