D.C. LEARNs continues to seek volunteers from literacy programs in the District to become Literacy Policy Liaisons. As a D.C. LEARNs Literacy Policy Liaison, each volunteer will develop a working relationship with a District Council member and his or her staff. Our vision is that Liaisons will become valuable and trusted resources to Council members, raising the visibility and understanding of adult literacy matters. This role will require only 2-3 hours of work per month.

In addition to general education about literacy in the District, Liaisons will share recommendations for sound literacy policy, developed collaboratively by D.C. LEARNs members. Literacy program staff, board members, volunteers, and adult learners can become Literacy Policy Liaisons. District residency is desirable, but not essential.

For more information or to volunteer, contact Jon Randall (jrandall@dclearns.org) or Jeff Carter (jcarter@dclearns.org) or call (202) 331-0141.
