WILLIAM BRUST
“The people here [at LAI] are great! You should drop by and meet them.”
A 26 year old native of Roswell Georgia, William Brust was not familiar with Literacy Action or its contributions to combating adult illiteracy in Georgia. Discovering the organization on Indeed.com, William became inspired by LAI’s mission statement and decided to become a volunteer. William had never worked with adult learners, only tutoring elementary and high school students, but found that the staff and teachers were very helpful in easing his transition into adult education. He began as a classroom assistant, facilitating vocabulary quizzes and assisting with word learning and grammar concepts such as imagery, metaphor, and similes. In the upcoming semester, he will begin working with students in the Saturday learning lab. William says “I would be exhausted after a long day of work, but when I came to LAI I was on and ready to go! Especially when we discuss words I realize how important knowing these words is and how it will have such an impact on the lives of our students.”
