Hello Service-Learning Community,
SCALE is revamping its membership program to better fit the needs of student
volunteers and student organizations engaging in literacy tutoring efforts and
we are asking for your input to know what are the most valuable resources we
can offer to you and to the students you support. Please read the email

We are also looking to connect with other campus-based programs

activities. Please email us at readwriteact@unc.edu if you are interested in connecting.
Also, please forward this email to any colleges, students, or community
programs who engage in literacy tutoring service activities.

In 1989, two
undergraduate students believed that young people could have an
impact on literacy, become leaders on their campuses, and raise
awareness of literacy as a social justice issue. The problem was
there wasn’t a national organization to help support students in
these goals. Thus, they founded The Student Coalition for Action in
Literacy Education (SCALE).
Today, SCALE continues
to serve as a training and technical assistance organization to
university students. We want to help support student groups and
volunteers to gain not only literacy skills and knowledge, but also
tools to advocate for social justice causes, create effective student
groups, and learn about working for community organizations.
We need your
help. You
have been chosen because you support students in some capacity. What
could SCALE offer you that would most help your office? Please
complete our survey, which will take no more than 10 minutes. One
random person who enters will win a SCALE tee-shirt (pictured
here). Additionally,
anyone who forwards this email to student volunteers, community,
centers and other individuals who could benefit form training support
for their literacy program and copies SCALE (readwriteact@unc.edu) will also be entered.
