Adult Basic Education Program at JCCC Volunteer Tutor Program Locked Doors For people who cannot read, life is full of locked doors. They lack basic reading, writing, and computation skills. That means they cannot read a street sign, a product label, a warning sign or a bedtime story to their children. They cannot fill out a simple form, complete a job application or write a letter to their family.
Many people face locked doors in their lives even in prosperous Johnson County.
The 1990 U.S. Census indicates there are more than 24,000 people here who have less than a high school education. There are 5,000 adults in the county who have eight years or less of public schooling. Most under educated adults are intelligent, industrious people who are suffering needlessly. They are looking for a key that can open doors for them. Opening The Door You can open doors for under educated adults by working with Project Finish, a free educational program sponsored by Johnson County Community College and the Johnson County Library .
