Who We Are
Bridging the Gap provides a variety of services that address literacy across the age spectrum and employment-related issues which prevent immigrant and native-born households from becoming self-sufficient. Lorton Community Action Center (LCAC) partners with the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia (LCNV) to offer English classes to adult residents of southeast Fairfax County. The course content focuses on helping students improve their English speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. The classes also provide information about American culture and life skills important to the workplace, community, and family.
The course is offered three times a year with sessions ranging from 6 to 14 weeks with classes two times/week.
All components of LCAC's Bridging the Gap program are offered at LCAC. English as a Second Language (ESL); summer and school break programs for area children; the Back2School outreach; adult introductory computer classes; and the drop-in resume program are all components of the Bridging the Gap program.
