2026 Students: Who & how are we helping?
As of April 30, AACLC tutors have worked with more than 177 students so far this fiscal year, which ends on May 31. We assessed 60+ new or returning students throughout the year.
In a few weeks, when we add up all the Literacy Council volunteer hours donated in 2025/26, we’ll likely surpass 18,000. Translated to a simple monetary value, these hours contributed more than $600,000 to Anne Arundel County communities where assistance is needed most.
Student Achievements Through April
Seven AACLC students earned high school diplomas this fiscal year!
Eleven students got a job or promotion, nine entered other educational or training programs, 16 improved an employability skill, nine increased their involvement in a child’s education, one obtained citizenship, two got a driver’s license, and 33 improved their ability to communicate in English!
In addition, many students made educational gains, such as completing a book in the curriculum or improving their scores on standardized tests like the GED.
The impact of our work extends beyond our students to their children, families, workplaces, and communities.
Tutors, assessors, and volunteers — thank you for all you do to help improve lives in Anne Arundel County!
