How does an adult in Mecklenburg County enroll in the Fill My Cup! Adult Literacy and Adult Basic Education Services tutorial program?
Please contact us by at 704-705-9797 if you or someone you know needs help improving their literacy skills.


Step 1: Call

The first step is to call Fill My Cup! at (704) 705-9797 to set up the initial interview and fee-based assessment. At this initial meeting, a Fill My Cup! staff person will collect some basic information and discuss each individual's goals and aspirations in learning to read, write, perform basic math, or obtain their functional literacy skills to prepare for pre-GED study. Next, the individual will take an assessment that identifies where they need to begin studying to achieve their educational goals.

Step 2: Assessment

Once assessed, the individual will be placed in the appropriate learning setting and given a study plan specific to their needs.

Step 3: Tutoring Lessons and Small Group Learning Opportunities

Upon enrollment, students will share their goals for learning, and will be guided in participating in virtual small group and one-to-one online tutoring sessions facilitated by a staff person. From this point on, the student, staff, and volunteers will work towards each student's particular needs and goals. At all times during the tutoring process, both student and tutors are supported by Fill My Cup! through resources, regular contact with the Volunteer Coordinator, and through post-assessments.
