| Research Hint |
| Find out from your State Commission or State Office about other projects in your area. Collaborating on training events conserves costs, and working with other streams of service can be an enlightening experience. Some commissions have a designated training coordinator who may know of good trainers in your area. Keep and share your contact information on good trainers. |

| What others have done |
| In Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Federal Work Study students from Wake Forest Uni-versity serve as tutors with the university's America Reads program. Faculty members from the university's department of education conduct training at the beginning of the year and through fall and spring semesters.
VISTA members serving in the Natrona County School District in Wyoming attended the VISTA Early Service Training focusing on literacy. They have combined this training with each school's focus, needs, and resources to create the most relevant tutor training possible.
Building Reciprocity: When a Foster Grandparent Program was started in Laramie, Wyoming, the nearby AmeriCorps coordinator met with the new FGP director. They have shared training materials and resources, and collaborated on training volunteers. The AmeriCorps coordinator has also helped bring the new director into the local literacy community. |
