About Us:

The Family Literacy & Parenting Resource Center is a new non-profit program offered through the Smyth County School system. The Center distributes information in cooperation with other agencies concerning pre-school childcare, adolescent parenting, alcohol and drug abuse, and other issues of family involvement.

We offer opportunities for children to enjoy books, quality videos, books on tape and knowledge and skill enhancing games. In January 2004, the Even Start Literacy Technology Grant was awarded to the Center with which two new computers, a printer, and a software program were purchased. The software accommodates various instructional levels of adult readers who lack-literacy skills as well as those young adults attending the Smyth County Career and Technical Center.

Everyone is welcome to attend!

Workshops are conducted at the Smyth Career and Technology Center in Seven Mile Ford, Virginia. Workshops are designed to aid students in reading skills, parents who want to learn strategies to assist their children with homework, adult non-readers, and those in which English is a second language.
