2. Meet with Carlos to complete orientation. During orientation you will learn more about our program and policies. We will also get to learn more about you, your goals, and assess what materials would best fit your needs.

What should I expect during Orientation?
Learner Orientation provides the information you need to successfully transition into our program. This meeting will include an interview and a description of the expectations of the literacy program. We understand each learner is unique and has different academic needs. In order for us to properly evaluate and place you in the appropriate level of instruction, you will be asked to take an assessment during orientation. After the initial assessment, you will be matched with a tutor based on your needs and receive instruction that is specific to you. Learners can meet with their tutors at any one of our four library branches: Donaldsonville, Dutchtown, Galvez, or Gonzales.
