Bridging the Gap

LCAC's Bridging the Gap program lives out our more than a 45-year motto, a hand up, not a handout." Bridging the Gap provides a variety of services that address literacy across the age spectrum and employment-related issues which prevent immigrant and native-born households from becoming self-sufficient.

All components of LCAC's Bridging the Gap program are offered at LCAC. English as a Second Language (ESL); summer and school break programs for area children; the Back2School outreach; adult introductory computer classes; and the drop-in resume program are all components of the Bridging the Gap program. Addressing a variety of literacy and educational issues for households, through education and opportunity, allows adults and children to experience literacy advancement.

Currently, all classes are offered in a virtual environment for the safety of families and volunteers.
