VMLC Says Thank You to DSVP

"Last year I made a goal to pass the U.S. Citizenship Test. Now I am a
citizen of the U.S. I am very happy.”


-Gloria D.
 
Gloria was one of the first students at VMLC’s new campus in West Dallas. Education is important to Gloria and her next goal is to attend Mountain View College to become a medical assistant. She sets an example for her 3 children(ages 1, 5 and 7) on the importance of reading. Watching television isn’t permitted after school – only on weekends!
 
DALLAS SOCIAL VENTURE PARTNERS has helped VMLC further their mission of improving English literacy levels among non-English speaking adults and their young children.

VMLC provides free, award-winning adult English literacy and early childhood education

and productive members of our community. VMLC currently serves more than 1,000 adults
and 200 young children in Vickery Meadow and West Dallas.
