I am not a volunteer. I have a ten year+ work history in adult education, and I currently work for workforce in adult and literacy education. I participated in EFF when it was initially being piloted in Texas, and I am a certified Bridges to Practice trainer. My remarks were directed to the misperceptions that cause -- and I have been guilty of it as well -- volunteers and voluntary literacy organizations to be undervalued by the field.
