Our Successes
The Need We Address:
According to U.S. Census data, our region has a higher than average percentage of individuals with limited English proficiency (compared with 8.6% nationwide and 7.8% statewide).
• 9.2% of Chelan County,
• 12.6% of Douglas County, and
• 16.4% of Grant County has limited English proficiency.
By helping adults improve their English abilities, they are better able to earn a living wage and contribute to the local economy. They are also more informed as voting citizens, better able to help their children in school, and more equipped to communicate in day-to-day situations. The increase in their self-confidence and self-efficacy is the most apparent and life-changing impact.
