3. Recruiting Students and Tutors: Since potential students are not likely to be reached by printed announcements, outreach is done through word of mouth, referrals from community information centres and service agencies, and referrals from literacy projects in other areas with students for whom the new project will be more convenient. They can also be made aware of the project through verbal announcements at local meetings of church groups, tenants' associations, unions, PTAs and so on.

In addition to these methods, volunteer tutors can be reached using posters, flyers, public service announcements on the radio, local newsletters and community newspapers.

4. Location, Space and Resources: The literacy project location must be clearly visible to non-readers and those unsure about getting around their community. The centre should be accessible from the street and easily reached by public transit. Street accessibility also means making entrances and program space accessible to the physically disabled. Literacy projects which are located near community information posts, libraries or other community services are able to give protective anonymity as well as access to a variety of resources which increase the options for literacy skills development.
