National Literacy Missions Leadership Workshop
Each summer volunteers gather to learn the skills necessary to equip local church volunteers to begin literacy ministries for tutoring children, teaching English as a Second Language, or teaching adults to read better.
What you need to know:
Change to registration because of Covid-19 uncertainty:
We have removed the pay-at-registration requirement for this workshop. Instead, applicants should complete the registration before June 1. Each state convention will be contacted the first week of June to confirm registration. We will invoice after confirmation. State conventions and individuals will have a month to pay. Please do not hesitate to register; we continue to make plans for the workshop and will adjust if needed. We have responsibilities to the ILC and want to have all the information they need by the first week of June. Your early registration will help them, us, and the participants who have assignments to do.
