As Unemployment Rises, So Should Education

Unemployment rates keep rising. More and more manufacturing jobs are lost. Chrysler is filing for bankruptcy. Literacy and education are vital to success, but it is even more the case now. We need to become a stronger, smarter nation in order to get ourselves through these economically challenging times.

AVKO urges you to channel the frustration that you may feel with taxation, government spending, joblessness, corporate malfeasance, corporate greed, and anything else going wrong in the world today by helping your fellow man (and children) become the best readers and spellers they can be.

• Help your community by starting up a local adult literacy training course, become a tutor, or hep your own children. Learn how here. Download the free e-book with lesson plans for an adult education course.
  
• Become a volunteer for AVKO or other non-profit organizations and charities. AVKO and other non-profits need volunteers both in our physical locations but also "virtually", through the internet. Volunteer and make a difference from home!
  
• Donate to AVKO and other non-profit organizations and charities.
• Earn extra cash at home as an AVKO affiliate. Share this information with others you know who need to supplement their income and/or want to help spread the news about the great materials that AVKO has to offer.
• Let us know about the other ideas that you have and ask us how we can help you out. Do you want to set up a spelling camp? Do you want to create your own website? Do you want to become a tutor? Do you want to create a video training series? Write books or curriculum? Let us know.
