Learning for ALL

🌧️ Say What? 🐱🐶
Have you ever heard someone say it’s “raining cats and dogs” and wondered what they meant? We’re breaking down another common English expression!

“Raining cats and dogs” means that it’s raining very heavily — and no, there aren’t actually any animals falling from the sky! ☔️

Have you heard this expression before? Let us know in the comments!

📚 Back-to-school season isn’t just for kids.

Walking into a classroom again as an adult can take courage. Maybe you’re 25. Maybe you’re 45. Maybe you’re 65+. Wherever you are in life, deciding to keep learning is something worth celebrating.

Whether you’re working toward your GED, strengthening your reading skills, or taking the next step toward a personal goal, you belong in the classroom.

This September, we’re celebrating the courage it takes to start, restart, and keep going.

Think about everything you've read today . A text. A prescription label. A road sign. Reading shapes how we move through daily life — and not everyone gets to do it with confidence.

That's why we run a 1:1 Adult Reading Support Program, matching volunteer tutors with adults working to build their reading and writing skills. And it's part of why literacy is so central to our ESL and GED programs too! Confidence with English opens up everyday life.

Our next tutor training starts October 5 🎉 Looking to help serve your community and build confidence in our students? Email Katie at [email protected] — she'd love to hear from you.

Want to make a difference in your community?

We’re looking for a volunteer English Instructor to help adult learners build their English skills!

No need to create a curriculum from scratch. We provide instructional support and curriculum to help you feel prepared and confident in the classroom.

📅 October 5–December 18
📍 Walnut Hill Commons
🗓️ Wednesdays & Fridays, 9–10:30 AM

Interested in volunteering? Contact Nicole at [email protected] or 402-502-0698 to learn more!

Come help us make learning possible for more adults in our community!

Happy Women’s Equality Day! 💜

At Learning For All, we know that equitable access to education can open doors far beyond the classroom.

Women make up 64.5% of the learners we serve, and through our programs, we see how building literacy and language skills can help women grow their confidence, strengthen their independence, pursue new employment opportunities, and open new pathways for themselves and their families.

Education is more than learning a new skill. It's having the tools and confidence to navigate everyday life, pursue new goals, and create new opportunities.

This Women’s Equality Day, we're proud to support the women in our community as they continue learning, growing, and building their futures.

Last week, our very own Courtney French Baughman and Nicole Partusch had the opportunity to present at the Greater Omaha Chamber's Employer Coalition and share practical insights on how employers can support English Language Learners in the workplace.

Creating more inclusive workplaces starts with understanding the unique needs of employees and finding ways to make communication, learning, and success more accessible. We are so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this important conversation and to share what we've learned through that work.

Thank you to all who attended and thank you to the Greater Omaha Chamber for having us!

Meet Sarah Kwapnioski, one of our incredible LFA tutors!

Our volunteer tutors play such an important role in helping adult learners build new skills and confidence. They bring patience, encouragement, and a willingness to meet learners where they are. We’re so grateful for everything they do.

Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your time and talents with Learning For All! 💚
