Project Literacy at UCLA

Project Literacy is a non-profit community service organization dedicated to improving literacy rates in the Los Angeles region through one-on-one tutoring for both youths and adults. The four communities ProLit serves: Watts, Mar Vista, Vernon, and Baldwin Hills. Additionally, we work as classroom assistants in English classrooms at LATC and in Venice. ProLit's mission is not only to enrich the education of children and adults through reading comprehension and writing, but also to provide mentorship, establishing meaningful ties with the families in our surrounding communities. Lastly, with over 120 student volunteers, ProLit aims to provide UCLA students with a deeper awareness and understanding of the societal structures that impact education in the communities that we serve. ProLit reaches out 6 days a week to 8 different sites. Feel free to bookmark our website and follow us on instagram to remain up-to-date with current events.
