Adult literacy is more than reading... On July 10th, over 2,000 immigrants took the important step of naturalization at Houston’s NRG Arena. Despite the ongoing heatwave and widespread power loss outages due to Hurricane Beryl, Texans made a special effort to move forward with the naturalization ceremony, where 2,286 immigrants from 121 countries—including several members of the armed forces—swore their oath of allegiance to the United States before a Federal Judge and became new U.S. citizens.

We are excited too! See you there.

Election season reminds us all of the critical importance of letting our voices be heard. Now more than ever, decision makers must know what adult literacy providers need and also how much adult literacy benefits the community. For instance, Harris County's economy could grow by $13 billion if adults with the lowest levels of literacy competency increased their literacy skills by just one level! That's why Literacy Texas is asking YOU to complete this short survey by JULY 31ST. https://lnkd.in/gPpUynJQ

Volunteering not only helps the community, it helps you. Here's five ways how (according to Voyce): 1) Volunteering improves your physical and mental health. 2) Volunteering connects you with others. 3) Volunteering can advance your career. 4) Volunteering teaches you new skills. 5) Volunteering provides personal fulfillment. Would you like to volunteer? House of Amos is looking for you.
