Founded by the former Columbus Dominican congregation in 2008, Siena Learning Center serves adult learners from local largely Spanish- and Polish-speaking populations, but also draws students native to Italy, Tanzania, Morocco, and Romania. Accordingly, this holistic literacy program has a special emphasis on ESL speaking, reading, and writing skills.
This newest literacy program has already begun empowering students with greater self esteem and confidence, along with new skills in speaking, reading, and writing in English. As it continues to grow into its own niche and expand its services, the Center welcomes new volunteers interested in becoming tutors or in other areas of involvement.
