Your tutoring skills could change the lives of Door County residents for years to come. Approximately 20 percent of all adults struggle to master the English language. According to the last census, Door County’s population also became more diverse, with an almost 70 percent increase in Hispanic and a 20 percent increase in its Asian population. For many individuals Literacy Door County works with, English is not their primary language. That can become a major barrier to them in their daily lives according to Literacy Door County Board Member Patty O’Rourke.
