CEO/Executive Director Statement:

With the generous support of our community, Learning Lab just completed our 20th year of service to people who struggle with basic reading, writing, math and English skills. Low literacy skills trap people in a life where every day is hard and poverty seems insurmountable. Our classes pave a new path for our students. Step by step, with support and encouragement, the joy of reading and learning sparks. There is a synergy created from the students’ spirit, the volunteers’ coaching, the teachers’ insight, the specialized curriculum and software, and a love of learning that is always part of the atmosphere. Learning Lab changes lives every day. Words and numbers that were a mystery yesterday, have meaning and depth of understanding today. Students, who once lived with the fear and embarrassment of being illiterate, are treated with dignity, kindness and respect. They develop positive feelings about education, and we provide a way for them to see a future that is more productive, engaged, and successful, not only for them, but for their children too. The ripple effect each student makes when their literacy levels increase is dramatic and far reaching. Our dedication is unwavering, and our organization is strong. We are committed to our cause – to teach, to support, to help create a brighter future for all who struggle with literacy. Ann Heilman, Executive Director

Funding Needs

Students pay a sliding fee based on their annual family income. 92% of students are low or very low income and some pay $10 to $40 per month as determined by the sliding fee scale. Last fiscal year, students paid only 1% of their education costs. The other 99% of the annual cost was funded by our generous donors.

Volunteer Needs

Volunteers are the backbone of this organization. Every adult class has one teacher and three volunteers to provide outstanding individual and group guidance, coaching, attention and encouragement. Volunteers also assist in our preschool classroom and with the babies and toddlers. This year 85 volunteer tutors from our community donated over 5,000 hours. Because tutors undergo 8 hours of training in adult learning and teaching and early childhood education, their contributions are valued at $18 per hour. This year’s average volunteer’s contribution worth $1,071 each.

Request for In-Kind Contributions

Learning Lab welcomes in-kind contributions and is vital to our success. The Cities of Boise and Garden City each provide leases for the space used for Learning Lab programs valued last fiscal year at more than $140,000. Learning Lab welcomes donations of supplies, printing and professional services.
