New Mexico Coalition for Literacy/
Free Reading Programs Statewide and Literacy Tutoring
The NMCL provides general recruitment and public relations services for referrals to adult literacy programs in New Mexico and acts as an information clearing house for educational progams that teach adults to read. Adults who need to learn English literacy and language skills below grade 6 qualify for services.
The NMCL Operating Assistance Grant program provides adult literacy programs and projects with funding for general operations. The NMCL Materials Grant program provides these same entities with funding for instructional materials, such as books and software for instruction.
The NMCL Training and Technical Assistance program provides adult literacy programs and projects with tutor, board, and staff training free of charge for in-service, pre-service, and professional development. The NMCL also provides consultation services to adult literacy programs under this grant program and outreach in the form of advocacy, public policy, conferences, networking, information sharing, and media relations. The NMCL operates a toll-free hotline, sponsored by KOAT-TV, to facilitate outreach through its Public Service Announcements that are aired on television and radio stations statewide.
