In its second year of operation (1986-87), the Missouri Coalition for Adult Literacy (MCAL) greatly expanded its scope and services. Factors contributing to this expansion include the attention generated by Project Literacy U.S. (PLUS) and the use of the Job Training Partnership Act as a funding source. Program accomplishments include the following: (1) creation of a statewide literacy hotline with three incoming lines and a two-person staff working 12 hours daily and 8 hours on weekends to disseminate information about literacy programs and sign up volunteers; (2) cooperation with PLUS, the literacy effort initiated by the Public Broadcasting System and the American Broadcasting Cooperation, which aired documentaries about MCAL on their affiliate stations and set up task forces in eight cities across Missouri, fostering linkages among agencies providing literacy programs; (3) expansion of services and programs--from 22 to 29 adult basic education programs, with an increase from 458 to 1,288 volunteers serving 1,323 functionally illiterate adults; (4) expanded cooperative service provision with the Job Training Partnership Act, the State Division of Social Services, and various local government and private agencies; and (5) creation of a database of statistical information on trained volunteers, number of hours volunteers spent with students, and amount of money saved for the state of Missouri.
