Our Story

United Neighborhood Center’s Department of Community Education and Revitalization houses the SCOLA Volunteers for Literacy program. SCOLA is the largest adult literacy provider in Lackawanna County and has been providing adult literacy services since 1979. In 2011, SCOLA merged with UNC and moved to 631 Cedar Avenue in South Scranton, where it is open Monday – Thursday from 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. and Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.. The facility offers free literacy and ESL services including a Family Literacy program specially designed for ESL adults with children in third grade or younger, a Citizenship class for those preparing to pass the U.S. citizenship test, a Language Partnership class for those looking to learn either English or Spanish, and a Leadership classs that provides recent immigrants with the skills needed to become more involved in their community. We depend crucially on volunteers to provide English tutoring and teach classes.
