On April 19, 2015, several of The Shelter’s Immokalee Outreach Office team members met with Todd Evans and Sara Howell of Pro Literacy to discuss the “Stay’N Connected” initiative, which expands access to Adult Literacy Services.

In March 2015, The Shelter launched Stay’N Connected as an eight-week pilot program to assist native Spanish-speakers, who often face barriers getting out of an abusive environment because of limited English language skills.
