The LEAF program helps students who are ready to start the process of getting a GED.  Learning Links helps students get referrals to educational programs and other services.  Learning Links also operates a Resume Shop to help individuals write a resume to use in finding a job.

TLC (The Learning Club):

The TLC program is for children and teens needing tutoring.  After-school tutoring, summer camps, Jump Start programs, and teen parenting/literacy classes are available.

The Back Pack Project:

The Back Pack Project is for MVLC students who have a tutor.  Students can get a back pack which contains children's books and an activity to go with the books.  The student practices reading the books with his or her tutor then takes the books home to read to his or her children.  All books and activities remain in the student's home created a home library.
