Overview

Mission

Instruct adult students to increase their ability to speak English and improve their reading skills; identify, coordinate, promote and expand literacy efforts; increase citizen awareness of the problem of illiteracy; identify, recruit, train and supervise volunteer tutors.

What it reported doing in 2024

Tutoring adult students is the main purpose of this organization. Group instruction consists of 65% in group settings with the remaining 35% working with an individual or utilizing the online portal, while being supervised by an individual via text or phone. In 2024, KCALC had 13 active tutors through two semesters and two summer sessions. Throughout the year, KCALC utilized 52 volunteers. In addition, KCALC incorporated some mental health programs, as well as programs on healthy eating, budgeting, hurricane preparedness, fire prevention, and food safety.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
