Creek County Literacy Program is hosting a Holiday Craft Fair to help fund new AV equipment for their building. This event is FREE and open to the public.
The audio/visual equipment purchased with funds raised through this and other fundraisers will enable CCLP to offer programming that embraces the audio/visual aspects of learning. Updated equipment will help with things like tutor training and workshop presentations. Their current AV equipment is outdated and needs to be replaced to maintain compatibility with current technologies.
Our mission is to help every child and adult in Creek County to read through tutoring, technology, and health literacy outreaches.
Creek County Literacy Program is a non-profit organization that trains adults to become volunteer literacy tutors, and then matches those tutors with children (1 st and 2 nd grades,) youth (grades 3-12,) or adult learners to help them learn basic reading skills, practice for Equivalency tests, and more. They also host workshops for various literacies, such as health literacy, financial literacy, and English Language Literacy.
