Description
The growing influx of families who seek refuge in U.S. communities from violence and persecution in their own countries has a profound effect on local education and social service agencies. I present Victory Adult and Family Literacy Program (VAFLP) as a family literacy model that teaches adults and children the literacy skills they need to access the rights and privileges available to them here in the U.S. VAFLP is a nonprofit volunteer-based family literacy program situated in a large diverse Midwestern city. The families who attend VAF LP originate from a wide variety of countries including, Afghanistan, Burma, Iraq, Russia, Turkey, Viet Nam, and the Sudan.
