Nonprofits are a vital part of language-centered ecosystems for children. Nonprofits – from summer camps to volunteer school tutors and everything in between – have a huge impact on the life and success of children beyond school.
The Rollins Center worked with Learn4Life and dozens of nonprofit and education leaders in Georgia to create a completely free Nonprofit Certificate of Training, designed to help ensure that all adults have the knowledge and skills they need to make a positive impact on children in their care.
The certificate of training pathways outlined are ideal for nonprofit staff and volunteers who are working with children 0-9 (and older) to support a deep reading brain. In an effort to provide meaningful training that is feasible for staff and volunteers to complete, our team of early learning and reading brain experts have selected accredited, science-based courses from our free online Cox Campus.
