    AT THE BRUNNER LITERACY CENTER, WE EMPOWER ADULTS TO LEAD BETTER LIVES THROUGH LITERACY. SINCE 2011, WE HAVE PROVIDED ADULTS WITH FREE, ONE-ON-ONE TUTORING. BETWEEN JANUARY 1, 2020 AND DECEMBER 31, 2020, WE SERVED 274 INDIVIDUALS IN OUR GED, ADULT BASIC EDUCATION, CONTINUING EDUCATION, AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING PROGRAMS THROUGH 3844.70 HOURS OF TUTORING. IN 2020, 17 STUDENTS EARNED THEIR GED, 7 GOT BETTER JOBS, 1 BECAME A U.S. CITIZEN, AND 193 STUDENTS MET THEIR GOALS. AS THESE STUDENTS IMPROVED THEIR READING, WRITING, MATH AND LANGUAGE SKILLS, THEY IMPROVED THEIR CONFIDENCE, SELF-ESTEEM, EMPLOYABILITY AND HOPE FOR A BETTER FUTURE.
