The Delta County Adult Literacy Program (DCALP) serves residents of Delta County 16 years and older through the Delta County Public Library District. We provide small-group instruction in the following areas: English as a Second Language (ESL); Literacy Skills; GED and Pre-GED; and Job Skills/Life Skills.

HOW MUCH DO CLASSES COST?
We charge an annual fee of $20-25 for our classes.

HOW DO I QUALIFY FOR CLASSES OR TUTORING?
You must be at least 16 years old and a resident of Delta County.

DOES THE PROGRAM PROVIDE TUTORING FOR SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN?
The program currently offers classes and tutoring only to adult students (16 and up). However, we are partners with Delta County School District J50 in the Migrant Education Even Start (MEES) program, which combines English-language instruction, parenting education, early childhood education, and tutoring for migrant families in Delta. For more information about MEES and family literacy, please call the Literacy Coordinator at 872-3396.
