After 29 years at the Alaska Literacy Program, Lori Pickett recently retired and handed off the executive director responsibility to Deepika Ramesh Perumal. Both women are interviewed on the show today where we discuss their lives and what brought them to ALP.
The Anchorage Literacy Program started 50 years ago in 1974 as an all-volunteer organization to teach people to read. Over the years it has metamorphosized into predominantly an English language school that enables immigrants with limited or no English language capabilities to navigate and thrive in Anchorage. In addition to its volunteer-led English Language Classes, ALP also offers other clases, like GED prep courses, and staffs a Peer Leader Navigator which helps folks achieve digital literacy. All ALP classes are free of charge and the bulk of their work is provided by volunteers. To be a part of the Anchorage Literacy Program visit their website by clicking here.
