Language Olympics website:

https://www.languageolympics.org

One-on-one tutoring program that helps with both learning to read (Literacy) and learning to speak English (ESL). Invite your community to the table to learn how their child can bump up their reading level or catch up where they may have fallen behind as a result of distance learning, etc., while introducing them to the word of God.

Chet Cantrell, CAC, once told us that the greatest outreach a church could do was to make sure every child in their community could read by the 3rd grade.
